I had PCs for the first 20 years of my life. My experience was they worked for 6-12 months, then they became bogged down with thousands of needless files/folders, ran slow, became virus ridden, and were shoddy/needlessly clunky versions of what Mac was putting out.
In addition to 'they just work' - I like:
Aesthetics/style
Easy of use
Simplicity
iPhone product in general
MacBook product in general
I'm sure I have another half dozen reasons, just too lazy to get into another long winded debate about it.
Fair enough, I have never used apple long term so maybe over the course of "years" an apple product would work better than a PC product.
But to me I still feel like anything "works" I personally do not see how apple is so much easier to use ? You turn on any device and don't they all get you on the internet and run the same apps really ?
I guess if someone has basically always been apple all their life and everything they own is the apple format then maybe life is a lot easier. You do not need to convert anything, its all already in itunes, etc.
I dunno fair enough to that. I guess I am not sure though why anyone would get locked into that so badly though. I just feel like you get so much more value elsewhere just the things like removable memory.
It just seems like people could do better on a non-apple platform and to me those devices are just as easy to use.
