Do you know a devoted Apple fanatic who refuses to be seen with an Android phone or a Windows laptop? Whether you've got a lot to spend or a more modest budget, you can't go wrong buying them Apple products or accessories as gifts.
However, with so many Apple products available, it's tough to know which are worth buying and which should be avoided. You'll also need to consider which Apple products the recipient already owns and which could use replacing with a newer model.
The Apple watch is an excellent alternative to a standard fitness tracker for Apple fans. It takes on the standard functions of a fitness tracker, like logging steps, various activities, heart rate and sleep cycles. However, it pairs with the user's iPhone so they can make and receive calls and texts and listen to music, making it a more practical and multifunctional gadget.
