As a former iPhone and iPad owner, and now low tier Android Owner, I say this thing of locking yourself into a plataform ecosystem is a very big lie in technology. The only advantage I had from having iPhone and iPad was knowing my purchases would be present in both, but, now more and more I see spending money for locking yourself into an Apple Ecosystem, MS or Google ecosystem is just pointless.
The best services out there are plataform agnostic, even Apple services. Google has a strong presence in every OS, from iOS to Ubuntu, MS is increasing their presence in other OS`s. It doesn`t matter if I have an windows 10 PC, and android phone and an iPad but use dropbox for files storing, Netflix for video streaming, and most Google services for the rest.
I`m a Google person, everything I use, with the exception of Dropbox and MS word, is Google. Last week I installed Windows 10 and since stopped using Chrome in favor of Edge, but still use everything else from google. It doesn`t matter if I use gmail from an iphone or android, i will get exactly the same informations. And going this route, I used to dream owning a full Apple ecosystem, but now, I`m sticking with my 2012 Dell Studio XPS with Windows 10 ( at max buying a SSD and some RAM in the near future) for a long time, I`m going to stick with my Moto E til next year when i`m getting an android phone and maybe, just maybe i`ll get an iPad later next year. All the frenzy for having the most powerful hardware and ecosystem as the services evolve are getting everyday more pointless.
