Don't think I have ever had an issue with ITunes - seems nice and simple

Nobody said Apple only has to have 2 or 3 options at one time
I know that but you made the comparison, just explaining why it's flawed

I agree although I rarely use it now because I use spotify for music and don't buy films. I only use it for updates occasionally.

To suggest that IOS is easier to use then Android in just daft. I work with quite a few fanboys and listening to them justify spending hundreds on the iPhone 6 when they have a decent enough Iphone already is funny. I have a 3 year old Xperia z, it keeps up with my wifes S5 and will be upgraded to lollipop soon, i have no plans to change it either.
Apple werre caught out by the demnad for lage screen phones and little of what they offer now is innovative. They are juts lucky that so many peoplelove them.

My wife runs it on her phone, no problems.
And we all remember the ariel fiasco,
the google maps blunder
Apple are not really the smooth operators you all pretend they are.

in all honesty, I had an issue when upgrading the OS on my previous 4S. I lost the Wi Fi selection toggle. I did some research and it seemed a relatively common fault. The customer service experience I had was exceptional. Comfortably the best I have ever experienced. It's one of the reasons I've stayed with Apple.

At the risk of sounding like a bit of an old duffer stuck in the 1970s (and perish the thought that a golfer should sound like that) I just use whatever one work gives me. And as long as I can make calls, get emails, update Facebook and twitter I do not really care what make or what OS it runs.
Never had any problems with iTunes on any of my windows machines. Now on my second iPod and about to go down the iPad/Macbook route. Already have a work iPhone, which I prefer to my Sony Xperia.

I remember that, it wouldn't get stains out of white clothes, so I switched to Persil.

For those mentioning iTunes, having switched recently to a MacBook, I can confirm that it is a totally different experience using the iTunes software on an Apple machine. It works beautifully and that wasn't the case on my PC.
Similarly, I initially installed Outlook for Mac to run my mail accounts, work x 2 and a personal one. It was an absolute nightmare, riddled with problems and issues around synchronisation of mail, calendars and contacts. I took the decision to switch to Mac Mail, iCal and Mac Contacts and after a couple of days of learning, was using them as if I had done all my life and all the problems just disappeared. Everything worked.
I am not saying Apple are perfect but the Macbook experience has been a fantastic one although it did seem a little daunting immediately after making the switch.
I would certainly recommend a Macbook or iPhone 6 to anyone considering an upgrade or change.

Very similar experience with macbook here snelly, not a fan of page or numbers so I have an ms office subscription
iTunes on a pc, any pc has seen me near to chucking it through the window (I have punched the screen once when after 56 minutes of updating it returned an error that just said "theres an error and the action could not be carried out" :angry
on a mac though, it just works!

Same here. Word, Excel and PowerPoint seem okay. Outlook was absolutely terrible though.

I wish I could say the same. I had the same problem.
Couldn't get any joy out of Apple and judging by the number of comments on the forums, nor could many others - despite the fact that the phones worked perfectly before the update.
I had to write the phone off in the end.

If you have Office 365 they have a very very good Outlook 2014 program, very similar look and feel to Outlook 2013 on Windows, works very well. I use it on one of my Mac's at work. Far as I know Microsofts roadmap is to update the rest of the Office for Mac client to have a much more "Windows Feel" to keep a similar experience across all their products.

Quite happy to buy into the Apple profits. I phone and I pad and very easy to use, does all I want.

That was what I was using and it was completely useless.
