Phone Preference

[bapu]

I'm curious which kind of phone you use and why.

 

[bapu]

me: I find Apple to be so confusing, but I've been on Android from the days of stone tablets.

 

[Lukas]

Android (Google Pixel), because I like to customize things. I don't need audio/music apps on my phone, otherwise iOS would be the way to go.

 

[BobF]

Android here. I have a serious iStuff allergy

 

[OutrageProductions]

Android for flexibility & options.
Also; I spent 21 years as an IT wrangler for Mac networks and because of that horror, I'll never touch an Apple product again.

 

[Gerran]

I refuse to pay more than €300,- for a phone. That locks out any Apple...

We are in an "Apple household" for 20 years now. And of course everyone in the family has an iPhone. I like the integration of everything, e.g., I can answer a phone call while sitting on my Mac or using my iPad, without grabbing my iPhone (which might be in my jacket in the entryway). And I don't care about the price tags.

Samsung A56 5G 256Gb. Never had something from Apple and never will but my little Brother loves his iPhone and his Macbook.

 

[Jemusic]

Apple for sure. I totally agree. I think the whole ecosystem across all the devices is just incredible. My son recently gave me an Apple Watch and I can’t believe how amazing that is and how will it integrates into everything? Nothing compares to it.

As I'm becoming an app developer I am now on both. As well as a 2021 MacBook Pro to debug iOS code. Probably will never use the Mac for music though. My PC (Studiocat PlatinumStudioMax) is a beast and does everything I need.

Flip phone. My first "smart" phone was an iPhone. Had many Android phones since. I now avoid everything Apple. I resist interconnectedness.

 

[Eaglepass]

For me iPhone - I love my iPhone multiple iPad ecosystem.

Been on iPhone since the original (which I still have), but I also use Android tablets (Samsung) which I like quite a lot. I also have both PCs (Windows 11 and Linux) and a MacBook Pro. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure...

 

[John Vere]

Had both. iPhones are just easier to set up and find stuff. To me there is no difference in how invasive any device can be. Samsung is terrible.

There’s a bit of static happening because of recent changes to Windows and the midi system. It’s broken a lot of long standing complex midi set ups.
I’ve watched a few recent videos by Reaper users who are switching to Macs.
All the good Daw’s are cross platform so no real learning curve involved in changing to a Mac for most.
W11 just broke my Motu interface so I’ve shelved it for now. It probably works better with a Mac
