I'm deeply immersed in the Apple ecosystem, relying on both an iPhone and a MacBook as my daily drivers. However, I tend to avoid using Apple's native apps. Despite the fact that Apple offers apps such as Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Music, Safari, and Podcasts, I generally opt for third-party alternatives for each of these functions.
Before delving into the reasons, it's important to note that I do make use of certain Apple services and apps. Specifically, I rely on iCloud for cloud storage, Apple Photos as my primary Photo Library and Apple's Weather app for my weather-related needs.
