For the most part, they work well and are easy. Perfect for tech illiterate people. The problem is they keep you tech illiterate rather than teaching you how to better use technology. Do it apples way, and pay for the privelege, or you can’t do it at all.
More accurately, perfect for people who don’t care to tweak, fiddle, or configure their devices. Being literate with technology doesn’t immediately mean that someone wants a device that offers them the flexibility to customize it. I don’t use an iPhone because I don’t understand technology, but rather because I prefer a device that doesn’t require any effort to use. Yes, it’s limited in some of the things it can do as a result, but the ecosystem is so seamless and free of troubleshooting that it’s valuable for me to not have to do any work outside of work.
Sure, but you can’t use it to download torrents for instance. Or until the eu forced it, use a different browser. The limitations have an effect on the openness of the internet as much as they do for user ease of use.
I don’t know if you’ve tried any other phone in the last decade but there is not more troubleshooting on an android device than an iPhone. I have an iPad. I constantly find it more frustrating, than easy to use.

Well put IMO
Spoken like someone who has never used a Mac.
