Rubbish, I use my hotspot with the screen locked and still in my pocket.

A lot of apps now have Face ID locking, but agree it should be universal now.

Swipe up and right for the app switcher from anywhere OS wide.

While there is some truth in your statement, when you look at the TCO of an Apple Device, it lasts a lot longer than any other device on the market, for this I’m personally happy to pay more and again only my opinion. Try getting even 3 years out of anything that runs Windows.

The R&D Apple are sinking into making their own processors and software run more efficiently is years ahead of others especially when it comes to battery life.

Along with using iCloud, your Mac will manage your storage and offload to the cloud. I think the hardware software combo is on point and whilst seen as expensive, is parity to the same offering from other tier 1 vendors.

Just priced the 14” MacBook Pro with 18Gb of Memory and 512SSD it’s still cheaper than the MS studio laptop with the same specs. But the M3 CPU will kill the 13th Gen useless intel i7 chips. Mac was $80 cheaper than the MS offering.

You’d be lucky to get 4 hours out of the Studio battery and all your memory will be gone in edge/chrome tabs anyway.

A general Apple user won’t notice a difference between 8 and 32Gb of memory. More click bait.
