    Why is this stupidity repeated ad nauseum? I’ve successfully switched from iOS to Android and back to iOS again without any hindrance.

    It’s not any different from switching from windows to Linux.

      Then why can’t I use an Apple watch with anything but Apple products? Why do I need a Mac to create iOS apps?

        If you just have an iPhone and nothing else and treat it like a smart phone it is very easy to migrate over to android and vice versa. If you get invested in the apple ecosystem it might be hard to leave or use some other products that are gimped without an iPhone

          Third party products will not work well with an iPhone as Apple makes sure that there products work best. Additionally, iphones have very bad SMS and MMS support.

          You could use an Android watch with iOS but Apple will not let you. I don’t get why you are defending Apple
