"Decades with Apple: #1 GUI and Ease of Use"

5/5

What do you like best about Apple?

I have been using Apple computers since March 1997. So having this three-decade-long familiarity makes it helpful to best use my computers.

I feel one of the upsides of using Apple Mac OS is how it works so well for creating multimedia of all types. When I first started using an Apple computer and Adobe Photoshop, there was no Windows version.

When you buy a new Apple computer, it is already loaded with very useful, free software or applications. I like that Apple is very concerned about security, and they regularly update their web browser, Safari, as well as their OSX.

Apple’s macOS is the best GUI in the business. It is often copied (as best they can), but nothing beats macOS for its ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple?

I personally do not like the iOS devices, and I prefer Android over the iPhone. I would rather have a MacBook Pro than an iPad. One of the rare downsides of Apple is when you find the need for an app, and there is no Mac version of it. But that is really more the fault of the software developer.

What problems is Apple solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I was in business, having an Apple computer made life much easier. I would use Apple's Pages to create documents, Numbers for spreadsheets, Safari as a safe and secure web browser, Apple Mail as my main email program, Photo Booth to take my profile images, and Siri handles my dictation. Having all those apps built into macOS makes a nice workflow. Now I use my Apple computers to make websites and political memes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
