Might convince me to leave the IOS brigade
What keeps you in iOS? simplicity and ease of use, or the many apps?
Hapo umegonga ndipo and am an apple freak. Talk Ipad, Iphone, Ipod and Imac (macbook) hehe
Then Mac os, and iOS have small learning curve compared to windows and Android. One can easily mistake the high price to be due to requiring lots of “geekiness” but it’s due to the premium materials used in the products.
