Apple has broadened it horizons in the past 20 years bringing the world much more than just personal computers. Apple now has a plethora of different devices suited for different levels of interaction for all manner of uses and users. Over time Apple has been developing a complete ecosystem of devices that all work together to create a truly unique computing experience unlike any other offered by a single technology company.
Every setting can be enhanced by Apple’s ecosystem of devices. From driving in our cars using Apple’s CarPlay to access maps and our favorite music, to working out at the gym and tracking our workouts with the Apple Watch, and then backing up and securing all the content and settings of our devices with Apple’s Airport Time-capsule.
When Apple is designing a product, they pay close attention to the capabilities of that product and how that product could be used along side their other great products. This attention to detail births innovation as it has uncovered use areas for technology that have not yet been visited or realized before.
It may be hard to justify the initial setup cost of composing your own complete ecosystem of Apple products as a lot of the same computing tasks can be accomplished on any one of Apple’s devices running watchOS, iOS, tvOS or MacOS. However, Apple’s different line of devices and operating systems are all designed with varying degrees of interaction in mind. All Apple’s devices seem to shine at performing a few unique tasks that are best suited for those devices. For example, the iPod touch is a great music player, the iPod can also stream movies, however, that said, the Apple TV makes for a much better viewing experience over the iPod’s small 4-inch screen.
Apple will continue to bring the world great new computing experiences and their current line of products is a great base for the innovation of future devices that will continue to push the boundaries of personal computing.
