Is the Apple Ecosystem Worth it? Which products can you buy "out of ecosystem" and when is it beneficial to buy more Apple stuff? I tested the entire ecosystem to find out. Technology has changed and the products that a company makes don’t actually matter as much anymore. Like Apple could make overpriced headphones or a heavy VR headset and people would still buy them, and even rave about them. But did you ever wonder why that is? Sure, they are viewed as a premium brand and for the most part, I agree that Apple makes fantastic products, but there is a deeper answer. You see, you can no longer review one product individually without looking at the entire ecosystem. Companies like Apple have built extensive and tightly woven ecosystems of products to keep you buying their products and away from the competition. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing though. The features offer incredible interoperability that otherwise would not be possible. And I tested just about every Apple product on the market and every feature in their ecosystem. So is the Apple ecosystem actually worth it? And which products are best purchased within the ecosystem vs when it it better to buy, say, a different brand of earbuds or smart speakers Apple Notes video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZRiN0s0Us4 Follow me on social media!
