I have Apple laptops, I love them, been using Apple computers at home since the mid-nineties. I have an iPod but I gave up using it. . . I actually enjoy NOT having music on the go, I really don't like the sound quality and I prefer to listen to my system at home, makes me appreciate music more this way. It's only the last few years I've had a car (was a motorcycle only guy for a few decades before moving back to Ohio) and so I'm really not used to music while driving. . . but I do enjoy the sound system in my Juke (it's the better of the two systems they put in these). It has a USB inlet but I'm not interested in using it.
Realistically I have to see that "convenience" drives a lot of users and products in the audio world this century. . . but "convenience" isn't something that I really look for or revel in. I still like the inconvenient ways of cd and vinyl usage. Just suits me, I know that others have moved way beyond that. . . .
