Apple ecosystem

The Apple ecosystem is an unofficial term used by the media to describe Apple Inc.'s network of devices and services. The devices include Apple's family of interactive hardware, including iPad, iPhone, iPod, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch models. "Ecosystem" describes the way Apple products work simultaneously with one another in a collaborative network, that once someone joins, it is hard to leave, as Apple products and accessories don't work well with devices from outside the ecosystem.
