Living in mixed environment is pretty much only for professionals. Can't imagine a regular consumer having to navigate moving content from one OS to another. It would be like living in a foreign country and not speaking the language. For me, it probably wouldn't be so much of a problem because I use Mac, iOS, Windows and Linux at work but never touched Android. Can't imagine my family not having the Apple ecosystem. That is all they know.
All you have to do is study the source code and run various anti-spyware and antivirus apps on your Android phone and Android Gear watch, which is a totally reasonable thing for every user to do¡

I'm not even sure what this means. You mention in another comment "If you don't use iOS how do you know about iOS?" It certainly seems you don't know about Android, or at least what is current.
Choose a reputable anti-malware app that does everything and you only need it on your phone. Done.
My family has Android phones, watches, but Macs for their computers. We have a couple of iPads kicking around too.
I've watched many of the features Apple has touted as "groundbreaking" in iOS come from Android roots and have existed for a long, long time on that platform. Oh, I see the Apple watch just got Cellular in Sept 2017. Gee, welcome to my Gear s2 from Oct 2015... my s3 blows the series 3 Apple watch clean out of the water too.
Like jsmythe00, I enjoy Apple products and have been in the fold for awhile, I just don't get swayed by the Kool-aid and will go for what I think is a better item even if it doesn't have an Apple logo.
Not concerned with buggy OS, hamstrung apps, dated and bland user interface.
You already stated that you made the move to Android so this sentence is implied. iOS users, on the other hand, are concerned with such things which is why we use iOS.
Really. iOS 11 has been Apple's buggiest os since ios. It's been so bugged out, they made it into their commericals.
...i think even Apple's ardent fan will concede, iOS 11 feels like android of 2013 when it comes to bugs
There is an egregious UI bug that the eagle eyed may spot. I even posted it to this forum on the thread for that iPhone X commercial, but it doesn't make it the buggiest version of iOS. It's been very stable for me. I've never had the device shutdown once, and no known app has quit. I can't say that for iOS 2.x which was very, very buggy for me and countless others for a very long time, and I can't say that about all the annoying issues I have to deal with on a daily basic regarding Android and it's various OSes, and vendor skins and apps.
...I've argued against android for 10 years with my best friend of 35 years. I switched to the Note 8 in part to thoroughly document the many bugs i THOUGHT it had. So far, not a one. Not even a possible.
1) Why would you argue against an OS that you didn't have experience with? Let's be clear, Android will only turn a decade old late this year, so you were rallying against it when there was only a single device on the market, the HTC Dream, after it first launched? It's a very different thing to say "I'm sticking with the iPhone until Android matures" v "I'm against Android."
2) Not a single bug and it's not even possible for your Note 8 to have a bug, eh? The first claim is statistically improbable and the latter is bullshit.
I think the amount of x.x.x updates is a very good indicator of amount/severity of bugs apple is dealing with.
iOS is updated regularly by the vendor so it means that it's a bad OS. That's a logical and completely convincing argument¡

1a) Samsung was doing cellular in a watch long before that, if you're looking for ridiculous claims that Apple is "copying" others when they aren't jumping to be first!!1! to release dubious technology.
1b) But why even mention cellular in a watch when Apple wasn't first to the watch market, smartphone market, tablet market PMP market, or really any other market in which they dominate? I guess Apple just can't make a product unless they see others failing at it for a very, very long time¡
2) You're right, I don't deal with "what is current" with Android because "what is current" with Android is very rare in users hands. What I do deal with is inline with what Google posts as their stats for Android and it's not good. It accounts for only about 20% of the smartphones, with 80% being iPhones, and every 100% of PCs being Windows, and yet it's most likely to require support. Version 8.1 is 0.5% and all of Oreo (v8.x) is 4.6%; so, yeah, I never had to deal with what is current with Android, but neither does anyone else.
HAHA had to laugh at that one. Nah no troll. Just disenchanted with iphone. Still a big fan of apple watch and ipad....and airpods!
But the iPhone? After using the note 8 for a bit, I'm glad I'm off iphone
@ jsmythe00 -- I love your comments...Both of them. Unlike many Apple or Android fanboys, I too have used both. I also owned a Windows phone at one point.
There are pros and cons to each of them, and I actually preferred Windows phone over both of them had they ever been able to overcome the Ap gap.
As a current Galaxy S8 owner, If Apple came out with a compelling device at the right price point I would at this point seriously consider returning to IOS...I am weary of flaky Android upgrades and Google's constant spying...Let's just say the Oreo upgrade from Nougat was a PIA, and if I wasn't tech savvy I would have been really frustrated...
I am SERIOUSLY considering moving back to IOS...
Oh, and I grow weary of all the FANBOYS on AI bashing anyone with a constructive counter point to Apple Kool-aid....Tech is a tool -- Not an identity!
Thanks...sometimes you can't get through to the kool-aid drinkers. And i admit, i was heavy on the punch, still am on some things, but theres no way iicould justify buying iPhone X.
I spent a night trying to defend iPhone x to the note 8 and just looked like a fool. As you said they both have pros and cons but i think there's one HUGE difference...willingness to adapt
Android(Samsung) is willing to change and bend to customer wants quickly...literally from one year to the next
Apple believes what they make is the Apex of design and anything else is wrong and will not change unless the ABSOLUTELY have to.
How do you grow when you think everything you do is right?
By putting out a device like the original iPhone.
Literally everything that Samsung phones do right (or arguably „better“) is a direct result of that.
Both ads are awesome and convincing. I like the first one more though.
I'm not a fan of them. I think Apple's best iPhone ads are those that focus on a couple new features. Shows how simple it is to use right there close up. Ignoring everyone else. If they can throw in a little humor, even better.

You mean, for example, Touch ID which is basically the same tech that existed back to the Galaxy s5? More like rapidly chasing.
Everyone constantly develops chips for their devices. Face recognization is in a lot of phones now, like the s8 & 9, and other devices too. You make it sound like Apple is developing and advancing while no one else is. As said above, Apple is not always the Apex of design. Some do better, some do worse.

Once again, old and dated information just like saying "look at the source code", "compile" and assuming everyone else has been stagnant 3 years since.
Or maybe should we post the video of various live Apple failures over the years during keynotes, iCloud leaks, and their own AppStore malware issues (XcodeGhost) and assume they never fixed the issues and that's still the way things are too?

You're the one that stated that Apple has brought nothing innovative to the table and then specifically used the Galaxy S5 as an example of how it's at least the same as the iPhone's Touch ID in a ridiculous attempt to prove a point despite knowing that it was insecure in design by keeping a copy of the fingerprint instead of using a hash and requires you to perform a very specific swipe instead of the advanced tech that Apple used after years of R&D.
Your wonderful example has proven my point: Apple is rarely the first out of the gate and yet they frequently change the landscape by offering a better solution which everyone quickly scrambles to match what they spent many years making fast, secure, and usable.

Yes, iOS 11 had its buggy moments, but Apple’s “bugs” still puts a “stable” version of Android to shame.
Just bought the IPhoneX and it’s been solid for the two weeks I’ve owned it.
I’m a bit more picky how I spend my money and prefer to not spend it on a company where the executives have seen jail time.
Just disenchanted with iphone. Still a big fan of apple watch and ipad...
Clearly you’re not, as you explicitly said the OS isn’t worth using. Go lie on some other website.
I didn't say it wasn't worth using. I said iOS 11 was their buggiest ever, which is why all my devices are on iOS 10.
Latest Watch OS, TV OS, seem fine. IOS? Comr on bro
How exactly are you using your Apple Watch if you’re not using an iPhone?
I'm not. Watch is drawer, AirPods given to wife after buying samsung Iconx. iPad still in use. IP6SP still used for a few apps not found on Google Play
And the lie collapses…
Always find it amusing how Android folk need the validation of IOS folk. Seems they spend a lot of time on Apple forums desperately trying to convince themselves they’re happy with their choice.

Very odd.
Have you gone to an Android-focused forum just to talk about how much you love your non-Android-based products? I've never once done that. I've been to many Android forums to look for specific answers to Android-related problems, but never to dish about how I tend to prefer Apple's products. I've never even once considered the notion. It just seems like an odd thing to do. If I ever have to create an account because I have a question to ask I doubt I would interject that data.

Nope. Never done that. Doing that sort of thing shows a lack of class and manners in my opinion.
I did go to an Android forum once to see how they deal with with ageing batteries, but while I was there, I didn’t feel the need to convince myself that I was happy with my tech choices by p*ssing all over the discussion.
But I will admit that I do get a feeling of … justification in my own choice? … when I see Android fans runnng around Apple forums desperately trying to convince themselves that they’re not missing out on anything. The irony is that the more they do it, the less likely I am to consider Android a viable choice. Why would I want to join them in their misery?
I will say this though: there are folk about who are genuinely happy with Android as a platform, but you won’t find them here.

Sometimes there's a huge influx of anti-Apple posters creating accounts all around the same time. Usually it happens when there's a major Apple event, but occasionally there will be an article posted that draws them in. I assume someone posted the AppleInsider link on an Android forum which created, for lack of better term, a Higgs-Bozo Bridge that allowed them to travel instantly from their universe into ours.

I was was curious about Sophos though, so I had a quick read on what they were offering. The first line of their blurb:
tells me that they think their customers are idiots.
