I come from the Windows world also. I started with an iPod oh so many years ago, and in addition to holding all that music, and being bug free and easy to use, it could run apps! Yeah, it cost a lot more, but in the end I felt I got my money's worth in aggravation avoided. My first phones were android, but when the company decided to get us iPhones, there's been no turning back . The functionality and intuitive interface are unmatched . Even when I needed to buy my own phone after retirement, I shelled out the extra bucks for the iPhone without hesitation. I've used android, windows, and Apple tablets and again, there's no comparison. While I experienced daily or weekly app crashes with windows and android, even the newer versions, I've only had to reboot my iPad once or twice a year. I haven't worked on an Apple desktop or laptop so I can't speak to those.
