The Art of Ecosystem: Comparing Apple, Google, and Samsung’s Device Synergy

With advancements in our interactions with technology, we have learnt to rely on our gadgets. And knowing our device ecosystems will play a vital role in shaping these interactions. Device ecosystem is concerned with a collection of a collection of interconnected devices, designed or created to function seamlessly together and provide users with a harmonious experience across multiple platforms.

Now, let me give you a more vivid explanation. Imagine that you are in a house that has many appliances like a TV, Microwave, Washing Machine, and lights. Just imagine that all these devices are interconnected and actually communicate to make your life better.
