When it comes to Apple, the product and the platform are inextricably intertwined — making them, essentially, one and the same.


"Inextricable" is impossible to separate. Needle and Thread are inextricable.

 "Intertwined" is coiled, interwoven or interlaced together. The threads are intertwined in a shoe lace. 

Sadly my office and personal life have become inextricably intertwined. I will have to take some strong measures to set things right.
