Ok. We're done here. You seem to have tripled-down despite multiple people pointing out that you've missed the point and nothing you've stated is an argument against it.

We were already done 4 days ago.

Some of us don't sit on HN all day every day talking straw men and actually have things to do on the weekends.

What does a faster processor give me ? and I have an entry level cannon DSLR if I want a better camera

Your preferences != other people's preferences. Most people prefer things to be faster. And most people do not own or (if they do) carry a DSLR. Phone cameras are important.

OK.

Some of the cheap knockoffs are getting really good. Mine get 4.5 hrs battery life, have the optical sensor on the bud that pauses when taken out and wireless charging case including an cloned (stolen) apple SoC that gives the real battery life of the "airpods" and case when the case is opened.

Interesting! Have a link?

it's also the ecosystem. I have an Apple Watch, it unlocks my laptop automatically. My AirPods connect seamlessly to my phone for listening to music, my watch when I'm working out and my laptop when I'm doing video calls at work. Continuity, AirDrop, AirPlay ... you can't deny that Apple has built an impressive ecosystem.

Damn Watch really unlocks macbook? I already sold mine (didn’t have a MacBook at the time) but I’ll consider purchasing one again, haha. Edit: shit, just realized how easy it is to fall into Apple’s trap.

They do! It's great how slick it is, you sit down at your laptop, hit any key and it wakes up and automatically unlocks.
