Microsoft with lineup Windowshis, meanwhile apples which is superior to the flagship Macintosh (Mac) brand.
Both of these devices have their own unique advantages with their respective characteristics.
Windows, which came first, carries a branding that is synonymous with user freedom in customizing their devices.
It is not surprising that the 'PC builders' will tend to base their preferences on the Windows lineup.
This is different from Apple, which always wraps their labels in 'premium', intact and exclusive packaging.
So it is not surprising that Apple products are rarely repaired. Of course this gives the impression that Apple has been good "from there". This is suitable for a range of customers who are reluctant to modify their devices.
Seeing these two completely different marketing characters, they are actually in their respective comfort zones. However, that doesn't mean they don't try to seize/hinder the progress of their competitors.
For example, Apple, with its exclusive feel, often upholds the concept of its own ecosystem.
They encourage users to use all Apple products for various technological purposes and limit interaction with non-Apple devices.
It is not surprising that this is considered a challenge for Microsoft as a competitor. As a result, their various lineups are also limited to not being "friendly" to the Apple ecosystem.
This also includes the Xbox and its various accessories. Hmm, then what happens to the controller? Can't it be paired on Apple devices?
