As incredible as it is, the problems extend way beyond just syncing on Windows.

Sync works completely randomly on mac between the iPhone and and OSX, - you often have to wait "a long time", and since Apple also has the completely idiotic concept of "everything has to be magic" you never get an estimate, or an error message, or a progress bar, so like everything on a mac, you have to just fiddle, disconnect, reconnect, wait, and just hope and pray that things will work out.

And then we haven't even touched on the their productivity apps like Numbers and Pages which for a long time had features in the templates which weren't available in new documents, so you had to start from a template, completely insane.

Still use Mac and like it for the most part compared at least to Windows which can't even get search right without showing randoms ads and internet results to you - another pretty crazy thing to push to production for a billion people.

Drives me crazy how unreliable all file sharing is on Apple devices. Like you said you can’t rely on iCloud sync, but half the time even AirDrop doesn’t work. Two devices sitting next to each other and AirDrop shows up on one but not the other. I put them both in Airplane mode and then back on, and now neither of them shows up. Oh wait now it works on one again, but again not the one I need to send from.

I actually meant airdrop in my comment above (although it does apply to airplay too) it applies to everything Apple does really.

Airplay is in the same category - it either works and is great, or just dead in the water and it's tough luck.
