There are all kinds of products you can get from Apple, including desktop computers (iMac), laptops (MacBook) tablets (iPad), phone (iPhone), watch (Apple Watch), and headphones (AirPods). Below is a beginner’s guide to various Apple products and accessories.

The Most Popular Wearable Tech on the Market, the Apple Watch
Apple watches are becoming more and more popular among users because of its design, display, and small benefits to one’s day-to-day. Apple Watches can monitor your heart rate from your hand via its EGC feature. It tells you how healthy your heart is and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Some other apps that the Apple Watch is convenient for include:

- Incoming phone calls and texts: Your Apple Watch alerts you as to who is trying to contact you right from your wrist.
One of the biggest reasons why Apple products are the most highly sought after relative to others is because of the software’s ecosystem. One Apple accessory is compatible with another Apple accessory. Some games and apps on phones and tablets are also only compatible with Apple products. The other part of Apple’s ecosystem is the ability to access iMessage and Facetime across all the accessories, including iPad, iPhone, MacBook, iMac, and Apple Watch. This keeps you connected at all times. The connectivity that Apple ensures through its products and accessories is what keeps consumers returning to them. The ubiquity of Apple stores all over the world is also what makes it a highly reliable consumer product.
