Hi,
I'm iTzMilzy; a hardcore Apple fan.

I own:
MacBook Pro 15" 2017 (Radeon 560 Pro)
iPhone X
iPad Pro 12.9"
AirPods
Apple Watch (1st Gen) [may upgrade if circular faced watch are sold].

Sigh, Apple...
Over the last couple of months I've had to make at least 10+ visits to the Apple Store. No... Not necessarily to purchase anything, it's because they're constantly breaking. For example, my MacBook Pro has already had its 'Logic Board' (Apple's calling of Motherboard) TWICE. First was because the touch bar stopped working suddenly and the second because the WiFi stopped working despite trying the best steps possible. Luckily, they were both covered by warranty; it's the 3-5day wait that pisses me off. However, no issues with it so far.

iPhone X:
I purchased this phone a week after it was released (and got it the next day). A few weeks later, I discovered that my AirDrop was not working. Knowing me, I like to transfer a lot of media files locally (to troll, or just for real). Got an appointment, and replaced it happily. Went home, and a few months later; boom. Big scratch on the screen. WTF?! Whatever. I got a new Belkin Screen Protector for around $40. Welp, that cracked eventually, not because of accidental damage, but the manufacturing error. Got a new one for free, and it has been fine so far.

iPhone Silicone Case:
It's shit quality. My nancould probably do better. I've had to replace it at least 6+ times, due to the sudden ripping. Now, it may be my cause, because of the sharp edges of the iPhone X buttons which cause it to tear the case. If you drop it, you've got a huge scuff on the case. Looks disgusting. To be honest, I take great care of my phone; however I dropped it once from like 40 cm off the ground and that scuff appeared as if it was dropped from 3 metres.

AirPods:
Fine, but the paint wear from inside when you drop it goes off easily. I must admit, I do drop the case sometimes; however the paint just wears off. It looks fugly. Not sure how to further explain.

Apple Watch:
Replaced it once. Cause? Wasn't passing the black charging screen.

iPad Pro:
Works fine. No issues, finally happy (quality and service wise).

What are your thoughts [specifically people who own Apple Products]?

But again, Apple actually reviews them and removes the worry about bugs & viruses. Android is only that cheap because they don't have a team to review the apps & updates that go through which makes Android devices extremely vulnerable.

My iPad Pro has been running fine. I'm not sure about the iPad 2017 though.

Had contemplation between them two but eventually went for the Pro

I have never had an issue with any Apple product ever, well, I did with my iPhone 5 years ago, went into the Apple store and they swapped it out, no questions asked. Amazing customer service and amazing products.

This is why I like android because I feel like my phone is of higher quality then a Iphone. The only things I really feel like I miss out on are facetime and IMessage. It is kinda nice though how if you do own all apple devices how they all work together very nice.
