Ecosystems are generally created to ensure that software and products work together. Major brands have developed these products in line with consumer needs. ecosystems They go one step further every day.
If we are talking about giant brands in the first place Apple and Samsung raise their hands. So much so that when we want to compare a product or service, only Apple and Samsung come to mind. Because it has been endless for years. a state of comparisonit seems like this will never change.
Let’s get this straight: the problem we’re going to address is not understanding which ecosystem is good.
While we will discuss the pros and cons of operating systems and the ecosystems they provide, it is still unclear which is better. usage habits and user expectations to stay. The consumer decides which of the brands we discuss is good and which is bad.
Now we’ll look at what the ecosystems of two giant names have to offer.
Let’s take Samsung first, not Apple.
Until a few years ago Samsung The connection between devices was very weak compared to today. Between Samsung phones and your computer and tablet can transfer files, Cloud systems allowed you to see the documents you saved, make changes or share them with others.
In recent years, Samsung has developed its own ecosystem increases its capabilities and you can share documents on phone not only with your tablet but also with your computer. Like a your Samsung computer If so, the file transfer has become easier.
If you have Galaxy EarBuds, adjust their settings from your computer and tablet you can see. connect your Galaxy Tab to your computer a second screen and you can use these two devices with your Samsung phone. remote control you can.
You can access your phone calls through your Galaxy Tab tablet, Galaxy Watch smartwatch, and Galaxy Book computer. can answer and write messages and you can do many more things. In addition, your files are now to Windows computersYou can also transfer it. Devices are closely connected easy To connect. Of course, you have to use the same Samsung account for this and in some cases you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network It is needed.
As you can see, Samsung has improved its ecosystem and its nemesis in recent years It has brought it to a level where it can challenge Apple.
Now let’s look at the first name that comes to mind when it comes to ecosystem: Apple.
If you buy an Apple product, make sure you do iCloud You must have an account. Almost the entire ecosystem world “father” Apple has placed the iCloud account at the core of its ecosystem. Apple products, which are widely used especially in the business world, are very popular. We don’t think it’s necessary to talk about it much anyway.
The bitten apple ecosystem works quite smoothly. For example, when you copy a text, link or file from your iPhone, it will be immediately transferred to your MacBook or iPad. You can paste it. You answer your incoming calls and check your messages on your MacBook, Watch or iPad.
Not only this. Let’s say you’re making a call on your iPhone and the battery is low. this call Can move it to your Mac or iPad and you can continue your conversation from where you left off.
your iPad to your MacBook as a second screen you can use. This way you can expand your workplace without needing an extra monitor.
Of course, Siri makes these functions even more fun and efficient.
to Siri simple commands like weather Instead of giving it away, you can find out where your devices are, lock them, and even You can reset it just to be sure. Even if your devices get lost in the house “Find” You can find their location with the sound notification you send through the application.
Moreover, in the future, Siri will be supported by artificial intelligence and it is said that he will become smarter. If this claim is true, it looks like Siri will come to our rescue.
That’s all well and good, but can Apple and Samsung products be used together?
To which the short answer is ‘Yes’. We can say that, but if we go into the details The color of the case changes. You can connect your AirPods to many Samsung or Bluetooth supported devices, Apple music You can experience it on your Android device and pair your Watch with a Samsung phone.
You can also easily use your Samsung devices with Apple products. Galaxy Watch and Galaxy EarBuds, It can easily be connected to an iPhone. Naturally, you will need an additional application for this.
Now let’s get to the part where things change color.
You can use Samsung headset on iPhone, but “Samsung Galaxy Buttons” and to use a Samsung smartwatch “Samsung Galaxy Watch” You must download the applications from the App Store.
However, this is not the case on Apple’s side. You can connect your AirPods to your Samsung phone, but noise cancellation, adaptive sound and similar functions in no way You can’t use it. Moreover, when you connect the headphones audio delays It can be experienced. When you connect your Apple Watch in the same way, you will lose existing features and You can only see what time it is.
Not only in electronics, but also Apple’s services work very slowly. For example, you can use Apple Music on Android devices But sound quality, The quality is much lower than when used on an Apple device. While the quality of AirPods is high on Apple Music It suddenly pops up on Spotify.
The only question in mind: Does Apple prefer its own products and services?
We have written extensively and we think the answer is clear. Yes, Apple blatantly limits its own products and services. Of course, the fact that the company has a certain policy plays a role in this. For example, let’s say you want to buy a phone from Apple. What if a iPhone you can get or just an iPhone.
Apple, which tries to attract more users by offering its own products and services in this way, uses it as a smartwatch when you buy an iPhone. applewatch, When should you buy headphones? AirPods, When you buy a tablet iPad and if you want to use a computer MacBook forces you to buy. Because the services offered by Apple and the specific features of its products are solely interrelated, In other words, it works in its own ecosystem.
We don’t know if Apple will break this stubbornness and work more efficiently with different branded products, but the privilege it offers to its users is undeniable. What do you think about it?
