How the Apple Ecosystem Locks You In — Continuity Explained!

Everyone always talks about the Apple Ecosystem. That it is. How it is. But I’m going to do you one better — I’m going to tell you why it is. And how it works. Just works. Sometimes.

How Apple gets you hooked and, most importantly how each product you buy makes all the other products you own just that much more valuable.

And I’m going to do… it right now.

Thanks for watching, see you next video!

OMG I’m so chained to the ecosystem. I was a full on Android user and now I find myself using all those Apple features.

[tscottmcbroom]

I prefer the term "invested" in the ecosystem. It is just better that everything works together. I purged Windows from my personal life a few years ago and I am 100% glad I did.

[pranaypaul]

Most meaningful ecosystem. Glad to be a part of it.

[gtracked]

This video is an example of why I think Rene’s channel is, without a doubt, the best tech channel on YouTube. Real information, meaningful analysis, and enjoyable to watch. Every time.

[shayargilani]

Am I the only one that knows they're "locked in" and doesn't complain? I love the Apple Walled Garden

[DanEvansn]

Rene you have become a content creation machine!! I love this channel!

[omenworks]

Everyone is talking about this ecosystem but it is so hard to find real life scenarios for using it. I would love a series of videos explaining all those ecosystem interactions to use my Apple devices to a full extent. I have spent long time on YT finding such videos...

[jessebustos]

I love copy and paste between all my devices 🥳 it is so useful.

[rodmunch]

I like the Apple Ecosystem, everything works together (mostly) flawlessly and it feels like the future. I still want and have my powerful gaming PC and backup Android phone to play around with, but I love how seamless the Apple experience is. Everything just works, and works well, and it feels high end.

[travisbaker]

Rene, the way you explain this is seriously the best I’ve ever heard. Thanks for all the videos!

[jonponton]

Airdrop and AWDL is just pure wizardry! I love it!!

[Clint_L]

Best content on YouTube. I always smile after watching Rene’s content. The best!!!

[docayomide]

Great video Rene! I love that you put “locked” in quotes, because people keep saying it like customers are babies and don’t actually choose to go deeper into the ecosystem themselves. Easier to blame Apple for “locking” than to admit that maybe they have created an increasingly appealing ecosystem.

[danielst-cyr]

I think this video is exceptional as it explains how devices interact with each other and the level of privacy. So glad to be part of this ecosystem. Keep them coming Rene.

[zebratroopfan]

I've switched from Apple to andro several times in the past and have promptly come back to the ecosystem. I'm happy and have no desire to leave. I keep buying Apple products precisely because of the benefits being in the ecosystem provide

[davidtevis]

“You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” I’ve tried to leave several times but always kept coming back.

[robbieparr]

Rene, your explainers are the gold standard! For any given product release or big picture perspective, you are my go-to reference. Thank you! God to watch again and again.

[kaysha]

Only those who are outside of the walled garden complain about it obsessively while we enjoy the other side of the velvet rope.

[CDart]

Rene, a lot of Jon’s subs are about to help you out teaching you’re next milestone! Love your work as always!

[beast]

I decided I didn’t mind being locked into the ecosystem with the purchase of my Apple Watch. That’s like point of no return lol
