Try supporting over 300,000 devices in daily real world usage, and you'll quickly recognize Apple products as the garbage they are.

There are 1.3 BILLION Apple devices in the world right now, TexasGunLover, which hold the highest resale value of all computers and mobile devices. . . and IBM is switching over entirely to Apple devices and finding they are saving $535 per computer compared PCs when using Macs.

IBM says it is 3X more expensive to manage PCs than Macs

Up to $535 saving per Mac

IBM today told the record-setting seventh Jamf Nation User Conference that it is saving even more money by deploying Macs across the company than it thought: each Mac deployment saves the company up to $535 over four years, in contrast to the $270 per Mac it claimed last year.

That’s a hugely significant statistic for any Mac user and follows extensive use of the platform by IBM. IBM VP of Workplace as a Service, Fletcher Previn, told the conference that 90,000 employees are now using Macs, up from 30,000 in 2015. 100,000 of IBM’s global workforce will be using Macs by the end of the year, he said, and the number is climbing. (That number was over 225,000 at the end of 2017—Swordmaker)

There are lots of reasons for this, not least that better OS software means Apple needs to update its systems far less often than Microsoft updates Windows. "We have to go out and manage the Mac environment 104 fewer times a year than PC,” Previn said. (Emphasis mine—Swordmaker). . ."

. . ."This is fully in line with experiences shared in 2015, when Previn said just 5 percent of IBM’s Mac users needed to call the help desk; In contrast, an astonishing 40 percent of PC staff request tech support help. At IBM last year (2015) just 25 staff supported 30,000 Macs.

That's working out to over $50 million dollars per year internal savings on tech support after getting rid of the Windows computers and non-Apple mobile devices devices for over 220,000 employees, Texas.

So, I guess I will go with the professional people who REALLY do work with the real numbers of Apple devices in the Enterprise and publish their results, not some made up claims.

Apple devices have the lowest repair rate and the highest user satisfaction rate of all computers and mobile devices. In the same article linked above, IBM "reports a hugely impressive '91 percent user satisfaction' from its Mac users."

So, Tex, I think you really do not know what you are talking about.

Try supporting them in a large environment of hundreds of thousands of devices. Until you support hundreds of thousands of them through the life-cycle, it appears you are the one that has no clue.

Failure rates are measurable, and can't be argued. Fact is Apple devices fail far more often than all other devices put together. They require more user support and are a cost burden. They provide little enterprise level security and are responsible for more breaches of security than their far more numerous competitors.

Both Macs and iPhones are small minorities of devices and hold very little market share. There is a reason for this- inferiority.

Stop paying for marketing, and start looking at the underlying technologies. The screen on the iPhone X is a screen other devices have had for 4+ years.
