# How I became an Apple user — from hater to user in 6 years

Besides my **MacBook** I now own an **iPhone** too. It was a long road. The trigger was dissatisfaction — in one case with Windows, in the other with Android — or rather its updates. The system itself suits me, maybe even more than iOS. So what do I get out of it?

A **unified** ecosystem where the phone and computer can communicate. **Updates**, available regularly. Apple products are **beautiful** — the design and its **cleanliness** are not at all overblown. Nice to look at, nice to use. Yes, they sometimes make fairly **illogical** decisions (no headphone jack, not enough USB ports). But at the same time their engineers have managed to pack **performance** into a fairly small package — I don't need to lug around a 15" laptop or a 6" phone.

To sum it up: it was a gradual evolution. I'm a satisfied user. A watch isn't in the plans, but a tablet — sorry, **iPad** — I'll most likely buy.

# How I came to own an Apple phone

I would have considered it **impossible** before. And yet it happened — I bought an iPhone. What led me there? **Updates** and the **slowdown** of my Android. When Motorola released the Moto E 2nd gen they guaranteed an update to the next version. Which meant going fro...

# From iPhone 8 to iPhone 16

My iPhone lost OS update support a while back... then in November I got a notification from 1Password saying that version 8.12 would be the last update for my version of iOS — decision made. Time for a new phone. I'll try the migration.
![A 1Password notice: to take full advantage of the app you need to update iOS, the December release requires iOS 17](https://www.ondrejsramek.cz/user/pages/05.blog/migrace-na-novy-telefon/GeHMPrzWsAAGXeg.png)
Given how Apple's release cycle...
