The ecology of Apple brand mainly includes two categories: hardware ecology and software ecology, and its underlying connecting central system is iCloud, so Apple ecology can also be regarded as iCloud ecology.
Apple's hardware ecosystem includes but is not limited to Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod and other products, all of which are connected into a whole through iCloud accounts. Among these family members, daily communication is realized through low-power Bluetooth technology and a small amount of data exchange. When there is a lot of data exchange, point-to-point wireless LAN transmission technology will be adopted.
Apple's software ecosystem includes, but is not limited to, applications or games that synchronize and back up data based on iCloud accounts. These apps don't need a built-in account, and all data can be synchronized to all Apple hardware of the same iCloud account, which belongs to the iCloud software ecosystem. In addition, the App Store also has a large number of high-quality software that does not use iCloud. These softwares are isomorphic to form the Apple software ecosystem.
