   I have an ipad and regularly use it, I think there are good reasons to   
   complain about the ipad. On the other hand it also works to some degree,   
   so it's not all negative. It's just that apple intentionally makes many   
   things very hard. I also have an android device and though there are   
   complaints that would apply to both android and apple (like all the   
   useless crap apps that primarily seem intended to rip people off), in   
   many respects android does many things much better, like how   
   comparatively easy it is   
   to access the file system.   
   You may feel that it works well for you, but perhaps you are simply not   
   a very demanding user and you are easily satisfied because you are   
   unaware of what's possible and to what degree apple obstructs people   
   from exploiting the full potential of information technology.   
      
   The future still looks bright with developments in AI and hopefully tech   
   tyrants like apple and google will soon be consigned to the recycle bin   
   of historical curiosities, once AI revolutionizes information   
   technology. At that point we can all agree to get rid of a   
   pseudo-capitalist system with fake competition (given all the monopoly   
   power big corporations have with neither transparency nor   
   accountability) that drives humanity to the brink of self-annihilation   
   by producing way too much useless garbage. We're already living in the   
   age of abundance with all the culture freely accessible online.
