You try hard to hate on Apple :) Of course, you need to buy the necessary equipment.

Do you want to make holes? Then you buy a drill.

Literally every piece of electronics in front of me right now is either an Apple device, or connected to an Apple device.

I'm not hating on them. I'm just advocating a realistic perspective on the situation. iOS is a walled garden. That some people (myself included) see that as a net positive doesn't make it not one.
