Apple users, how far down the rabbit hole have you gone?

[Dolby]

Does the Apple TV app on my Samsing TV count?

I think if you subscribe to it!

 

[The Voice]

iPhone, Apple Watch. MacBook is next on the list when my laptop finally dies.

 

[Priapus]

I forgot to add - I have the black versions of Magic Mouse and Magic keyboard.

I’m at the phone. I went into the rabbit hole and backtracked after finding that not all their products are as reliable and robust as their phones, nor as well supported.

I had an iPad which lasted well but I didn’t replace it because I don’t really need one.

Other than that I bought the Apple TV but after the remote died shortly after expiration of the warranty and their solution was simply a replacement at more than 50% of the cost of a whole new system and after the TV unit stopped connecting to wifi I put it away in a cupboard and haven’t looked at it since.

My Apple Watch screen died after 2 years (the watch still worked as it would connect to my phone etc). Core Group’s solution to me, again, was to quote me for a new watch outright. After Apple support in the US confirmed that Core group was not authorised to repair or replace the screen on the watch they sold me I walked away from the local operation for everything but the phones.

Apple makes some decent products but the local authorised retailers leave a LOT to be desired in my experience. You pay a heavy premium and yet they cannot repair much here. Less than ideal so not for me.

On principe I avoid Apple for anything I’m looking for so now we have smart TV’s and android TV and Garmin watches.

Apple users, how far down the rabbit hole have you gone?​

So in short, not far at all...

Well, if I include the rest of the family in the discussion, 3 iPads, 1 Apple pencil and 2 iPhones.... would be a whole lot more if I were a whole lot wealthier....

The ATV is sitting in his cupboard - he has it

You just need to accept that 50% of his devices failed *shrug*

I see you still struggle with basic reading comprehension...

Now go troll someone else.

Often, when a slash is used in a formal or informal text, it is meant to indicate the word "or"

You are a troll in anything about Apple, probably the most devious troll since Eks.

Far enough to know that there were serious problems associated with their non-core products at the time, that they were not able to offer any service other than sales and that the experience was sufficiently poor to create distrust in the authorised retailer.

There and back again is not the same as never having moved.

My post was mostly TIC.

distrust in the authorised retailer.

Have not really dealt with them apart from buying small items like cables etc. from them, but also cannot really say I have ever heard or read anything good about them.
