Apple Products are definitely one of my addictions.
When personal computers came on the scene my employers used Microsoft Windows. I went to classes, at the expense of my employer, to learn Word, PowerPoint, Basic Computer, Excel, and on and on. Everything else was on the job training. Naturally when I purchased my first personal device I got a Toshiba Laptop and I used it for 15 years.
My uncle who is now 97 years old always used Apple and my daughter followed in his footsteps. They converted me and I was shocked at the amount of new operations I had to learn.
Over the years I have had many devices. The only one I recycled at the Apple Store was my iPad mini which was 16 Gigs. Definitely useless. I couldn't even trade it in. This year alone I've had to learn Apple TV and how to use my Beats headphones. Then it was time to get a new phone so I am forever learning iPhone 16!
The best thing about upgrading is the speed. My old devices take forever to charge and I definitely love facial recognition.
It's funny because yesterday I ran into an older man on the elevator who was upset and started complaining to me about his iPad Air. I told him the great experience I had on a Sunday morning calling Apple Customer Service. He said that was good to know.
Despite excessive updates I am a fan. As long as the updates keep me secure I'm happy. As far as more bells and whistles, they're wasted on me. I'm always going to recommend Apple. Five Stars! read more
