I have been using Apple devices and supporting many of their users for over 20 years, and they are all extremely invested in their choice of computing device. It's really a source of pride for many of them, weirdly. For this reason, anything Apple does is necessarily better than everything else on the market. It's a bit pointless to argue because they come from an emotional standpoint; if you point at the many things not working properly, they always have an excuse to handwave it away. It's really funny because I use Apple stuff, and I find many qualities in it, but I'm unwilling to be blind to the faults and weaknesses.
This sort of ego investment exists for other brands as well; I think it is a lack of emotional maturity and an inability to realize that a brand does not care if you do not fully "love" their products.
Hilariously, you are going to argue that Apple is good because they sell a lot of stuff, but somehow Microsoft is bad because they sell a lot of stuff (a lot more, in fact).
Samsung is just straight-up spyware infested crap that's somehow even worse than the other android options.
I'm really pulling for Huawei to rescue us at this point.
Have you used a Samsung? Apple's AI miserably fails in every comparison out there in the photos app.
There's also Google Photos with Gemini which helps you find any photo you want with AI better than anyone else.
But sure, Apple has the best AI integration
