Linus criticizes Apple for withholding product functionality from non-Apple users as a form of hostile anti-consumer behavior.

“personally I believe entitles Apple to a special level of hell for them and any other company that is so user hostile that they will punish a customer with cut down functionality simply because they haven't bought enough of their products to be cared about.”

The iPhone provides a superior social experience compared to Android due to integrated features like AirDrop, contact sharing, and earlier access to new app features.

“You can say what you want about Apple's walled garden, but when people have been fully converted to it, it truly feels like magic. Whether it's the tapping to add people as contacts, seamless transition from AirPods to speakerphone, sharing locations with friends and iMessage, going from phone call ”

Justin Giangrande feels the Apple ecosystem, including the watch and headphones, works very well for his daily needs.

“Yeah, just like as a complete ecosystem together with the watch, the headphones that I got, everything say probably about 7 half, eight. Honestly, I got it. All worked really well for me.”
