The Best Apple Ecosystem for Students
It is no secret that one of the main benefits of using Apple products is the tight integration between their hardware and software since the same company makes both. Along with this per-device integration, the various Apple hardware products work well together to form an ecosystem. For example, someone can start a text on an iPhone, pick up their Mac, and keep typing where they left off without skipping a beat.
For a student wanting to build an ecosystem with multiple Apple products, the sheer volume of options can be daunting. Do you buy an iPhone 14 or 14 Pro? What about saving some money and buying an iPhone 12 that looks almost identical to the 14? MacBook Pro or MacBook Air? iPad, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro? Do you even need an iPad? Then there are watches, headphones, and more.
This article is written for the average college student that wants to walk into an Apple store and purchase everything they need to have a fun and successful four-year degree. Although this guide can get quite expensive, keep in mind that school is typically a 4+ year investment, and each of the products recommended will easily last that entire time and will likely be worth the upfront cost.
