For me Apples ecosystem is the best available in that everything for the most part works well together. The biggest thing is AppleCare and being able to go into an Apple Store and get a replacement easily if needed (which I have needed to do in the past).

With that being said I use very few of the Apple built in apps which has made the experience better for me. Use Apples hardware for easy support and longer OS support and other apps for a better everyday experience.

Ecosystem huh? My first experience with iphone was that, i transferred stuff from my old phone and put my sim into iphone. I had duplicate contacts, like 180 contacts duplicated. And the only way to remove all duplicates fast, i to basically own a mac, like wtf, WHY. So i had to delete every contact manually, many steps just to delete 1 contact. Not the experience i'd hoped.

My Apple Watch and AirPod Pros work incredibly well with the phone. I use both everyday and after trying many other products they are the best available for me. I’m no fan of Apple but have had the android experience and for me Apple suits my needs.

I also use a Windows laptop as after using many Macs I am not a fan.

iPhone isn’t for everyone and honestly I would go with the Samsung Fold 4 if I wasn’t using an iPhone but if I had an issue with it I can’t imagine going through an RMA if it has a hardware issue. I like I can go into a store and get support.

I don't own smartwatch anymore, but my galaxy buds worked well with samsung and works well with iphone too. BUT airpods and watch better work incredibly well, because they are pricey.
