Many Apple products have made a global impact thanks to their sophisticated design and modern style, attracting even those w
ho are not fans of the brand.
However, not everyone finds them suitable. Especially for users who mainly use A
ndroid and Windows devices, it can be easy to turn away from Apple products .
High costs due to “Apple fees”
Even those who have used Apple products in the past, whether it was an Apple Classic in the 1990s or an iMac in college, may be disa
ppointed with Apple today. Since the introduction of the iPhone, Apple has been charging higher prices, often referred to as the “Apple t
ax,” with iPhones and MacBooks being out of reach for many over the past 15 years. To
day, a MacBook Pro can be compared to 3-4 Windows laptops with better specs. Only the iPad is more affordable.

a new Android for the same price? Not only do the current Samsung Galaxy and OnePlus phones look great, they also have better app compatibility.
Geo-restrictions affect iOS experience
Both Android and iOS have restrictions on apps and content, but Apple products have stricter geo-restrictions. Users ca
n only change their region once every 90 days, which can make it difficult to access regional content. Without a good VPN, using Apple products can be a challenge.

Additionally, Apple also offers less flexibility when it comes to international travel. While you can use a local SIM on your iPhone,
if the device is locked to a carrier, you may have trouble using it abroad. On the other hand, with Android, you can easily buy a phone abroad and use it on a variety of networks without any problems.
iOS lacks customization
One of the biggest reasons why Windows and Android users don’t want to switch to Apple is the lack of customization. MacBook components are often soldered in, forcing users to pay a large sum of money up front. Meanwhile, with Windows, users can upgrade components when they have the financial means.

The only product that still comes to mind is the iPad, as its image quality is superior to Android devices. However, even on the iPad, hardware and software obsolescence is a major issue.
Availability of free apps
Although the App Store has slightly more apps than Google Play, Google Play actually has more free apps. iOS users tend to spend more on apps, while Android users tend to download more without spending any money. This leads developers to prioritize free apps for Android.
