So, I think I pretty much decided that I'm going back to ios when I'm able to. I just like the solid news and the ecosystem more I think.
However, I'm beginning to wonder if being tied to that ecosystem and going further and further down the rabbit hole with buying our TV shows, movies, and content through iTunes, could potentially bite us in the *** one day if we ever wanted to use something not made by Apple?
I'll use the example of movies and TV shows. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll continue to buy any video content through iTunes because of its DRM to only apple hardware. In contrast, if I buy my movies and TV shows through amazon's digital download, I atheist have the piece if mind that most everything has a amazon video app. The only thing that can play my iTunes video content are apple devices, and who knows if we're going to use apple stuff forever.
Does anyone else worry about investing deeper into apples closed ecosystem for fear of what might happen in the future?
