Anyone who claims iOS interoperates with Windows knows nothing about iOS.

1. Plug an Android & iOS device into two USB ports on any Windows PC;
   (In fact, plug any number of them into any number of Windows PCs!)
2. Copy a few movies from each Windows PC to each of those devices;
3. Oh wait. You can't. Not with the Apple devices you can't.

Apple murdered interoperability.


FACT: The iOS device does NOT interoperate with Windows.

Not only is that task impossible to do on Windows without adding additional
bloatware (e.g., the iTunes abomination which Apple clearly has never
tested for bugs - which is why iTunes is always full of zero-day holes!)... 

But... 

You have to create an Apple ID on every single Windows PC in order to do it
(even with the iTunes bloatware abomination). 

But wait... there's more... 

That Apple ID has to *match* that of each iOS device.

Fancy that.
A. You take five Android devices - they all interoperate with Windows.
B. You take five iOS devices - you need to create FIVE DIFFERENT APPLE IDs!

The fact is clear that Apple devices do not interoperate with Windows.

FACT:
a. Android devices easily copy movies to any Windows device, while
b. Apple devices can't copy anything to any Windows device
   (without adding matching Apple Id's & without adding bloatware)

Apple murdered interoperability.

Anyone who claims otherwise knows absolutely nothing about iOS.
