Apple Fanboy, Kind Of

Confession time. I love Apple. That’s not anything new that anyone has said so why the dramatic title? Well, I wanted to start this blog with passion, and I couldn’t think of anything that I am more passionate about (as I say, typing on my homemade PC).

If you ask anyone in my tiny circle, they will refer to me when it comes to technology of any kind. You know, the nerd of the group. My refer-ability has even more power when it comes to the latest and greatest Apple products since I have experienced all of their products some way or the other.

On top of that, Apple products are aesthetic and can be good furniture pieces. But no one spends $12,000 on a Mac Pro (the Apple cheese grater) and its $5,000 display (not sponsored) to just show off. They are apt at minimalism while having the functions that consistently make them one of the top brands year after year.

To help you understand just how “obsessed” I am, here are the products I have owned/currently own:

• iPhone 3GS, 4S, 5S, 7, X, 12 Pro, 14 Pro
• iPad mini, iPad 9th Gen, iPad Air 4
• Apple Watch Series 0 (original), 4, 7
• MacBook Pro
• AirPods Pro 1, AirPods Pro 2

Not a lot, but I still live like a student so I definitely am unable to buy a new iPhone year after year, but I can honestly say that every version I have owned has been better than most. My iPhone X (ten) was better then every phone released post until the iPhone 12 Pro, according to myself, Business Insider, and DigitalTrends. However, The 12 Pro was not “earth-shattering” compared to the much better camera and features of the 14 Pro, what with its 48mp camera which is comparable to the modern Asian smartphones (I’m not counting the Xiaomi phones, which have a whopping 200mp!)

Now this blog doesn’t exist just for me to tell you about new Apple products, that’s just one of the many things I’m excited to write about. Besides that, I want to talk about design, specifically UX Design, which is the field I am transitioning to. Apple is just one example of great design as well as a great user experience (UX). Facetime is the most synonymous way to say “video-call” and is used by grandparents everywhere. The simple UI (user interface) with minimal controls makes it easy to use, accessible, and has a great design, the key steps in any great user experience. It is just one company of many that makes for an excellent UX

I hope this first blog gives you an idea of what’s to come, and I look forward to hearing your comments below!
