I can not overstate the benefits of the Apple ecosystem. When you enter a contact on your phone it is automatically synced to your iPad. When you enter a new calendar event on your iPad, it is automatically synced to your iPhone and the event reminder comes up on your Apple Watch. It is seamless and it just works. If you get a Windows laptop and an Android phone you can get some synchronization with Google Calendar, but it won’t be anything close to seamless.
It’s not just contacts and events, either. All your To Do items, your web site bookmarks, passwords, messages, Notes, and there are loads of third party apps that take advantage of iCloud to sync between your different apps. The Apple ecosystem is a great thing, and there simply is nothing that even comes close to doing as much so easily.
With that in mind, here’s how to get into the Apple Ecosystem without breaking the bank.
