So, as you all may know, I'm in the process of deciding whether to keep using my HTC one m8 or go back to my 5S. I already own a apple TV, iPad 4, and plan on getting a macbook one day. However, I'm becoming more and more worried about my reliance on apple and where they coulstd be taking the ecosystem.
What u mean by taking the ecosystem is that they are making but rather impossible to leave the apple garden once your fully in. Continuity is a great feature, but it does create a giant dependency in hardware from one company.
Honestly, when gas it ever been wise to out all your eggs in one basket like that? What happens if one day you no linger like what they put out? Tough luck, your in the swamp already and can't leave. Or what if this were some crazy world where spoke has another 1997 situation. (Though unlikely that is given their cash hirde , but still)
I just don't know how I feel about how apple is making it harder then ever for us to use other non apple devices. Although I don't have any major issues with apple products at this moment, who knows how it'll be 5 or 10 years from now?
Anyway, I think its worth at least discussing.
