Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: iPods and Mp3 Players?
apple is ideal for antitheft, they make it so a lost or stolen device is almost useless to the person who has it by the inability to sync w any other account

It's the design apple puts out there and it's a lot more simple to use! (I have a iPhone, Ishuffle, iPad)

It's technology for non-technical people. iPods and iPhones are simple to use. All the functionality in the world wouldn't matter if you can't figure out how to use it.
(Other similar products aren't necessarily harder to use, but the initial learning curve is often steeper, and that's what puts a lot of people off.
I can't comment on this point from personal experience as a so-called "digital native", but that's why I don't have an iPhone.)
Other than that, a lot of it is just hype. Also, when these products have problems, they are often difficult to fix.
The hardware specs aren't actually as good as similar products of other brands, but beyond a certain point, the difference becomes purely academic and doesn't improve the user experience significantly anyway.

It really depends on who you are asking. If you ask the Apple company why they are better, likely they will have a lot of examples to give you. If you ask the producers of other brands of technology why their competitor is better, they will deny it whether it's true or not.
It is easy to attempt to copycat another company's new creation, but it is not as easy to come up with a new idea for something that does not yet exist and be the first to introduce the iphone for example.
I learned alot by watching the movie "Jobs" which is about the creator of the Apple company, Steve Jobs. Ashton Kutcher plays Steve in this 2013 movie about the story of Steve Jobs' ascension from college dropout into one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20th century.
If you haven't seen it yet, watch it. You can learn a lot about the people behind the products. Its some of those characteristics of those kinds of people that make the products so great.
For one thing, they are not followers but leaders, they walk to the beat of their own drum, not what everyone else in society is doing, they push themselves hard, they have a high goal for themselves, they don't take no for an answer, when someone says it can't be done or is not possible they don't listen to that person and give up, they find a way to prove them wrong and the best way is to succeed where others haven't even dared to try. You will pick up lots more on the type of person Steve Jobs is and the kinds of people he worked with. Even his employees didn't have the vision he had. Maybe he couldn't create the product physically himself but he came up with the ideas and hounded those with the skills to create the new products. Watch the movie again if you've seen it and pay closer attention to what makes an innovative successful person, and maybe you'll just be the next "Steve Jobs".
