    I think part of the “it just works” definition is the default apps should work without missing features, however you’re not wrong, alternatives do exist.

    Edit: spelling

      Fair enough. Guess we just have different views when it comes to that then.

      For me “it just works” is much more about the OS. Sending files between my Apple devices in high quality within seconds without internet, browsers and files syncing, having my Airpods switch from phone to Apple TV with the press of a button/automatically, face-id not failing 50% of the time, the watch works when I speak to it and does what I want it to.

      These are by no means crazy and things, but I struggle daily at work with my none Apple headset, the windows computer, my android phone. It just “does not work” smoothly. And they all sync horribly with each other for some reason. Files are not easily shared I often end up having to email myself, my headset that cost $400 lives it own life, features are automatically turned on again and again by themselves, for some reason. I have to restart my Microsoft IDE at least 10 times a day. Stuff like that.

      You do not get all the features, that’s for sure. But you get less friction. I think that’s what most are getting at with it just works. Less friction.
