The Apple products that Android has no answer for
Context is important.
And it’s important that I add some context in relation to my perspective and biases.
I am an Apple fan.
But I’m also an Android and Windows fan. I spent over £3,000 on a Galaxy Book 3 Ultra Windows laptop this year, and over £1,200 on a Galaxy S23 Ultra, so when I write this, I write not as a one-sided fan boy, but as someone that uses and loves tech from more that one manufacturer.
But from my perspective, there are at least three non-core Apple products that Android doesn’t have an answer for, or at least, not one of enough equivalence to convince dyed in the wool Apple fans to make a permanent switch.
Apple Stores
Here in the UK, Apple operates 40 physical stores — more than in any other country in Europe. And in addition to that, Stormfront, the UK’s premium Apple reseller, operates 23. That’s at least 63 stores dedicated to Apple products. I have three Apple stores less than 20 miles from my house, another at 26 miles, and a Stormfront store in under 5 miles. That’s five Apple stores less than an hour door-to-door.
