I would suggest that the majority of those who choose Apple products do so specifically because they care more about functionality (quality of OS, interface and build materials) than pure numbers.

To suggest most people choose them because they're buying into a 'lifestyle brand' is pretty patronising. Sure, there are some people who want that, and they're always good to make fun of.

it may be patronising but this also a strong element of truth to it as well. how many people would buy a tablet if it didn't have that apple logo on the back. It may not be true for everyone, but it is true for a good bulk of apple consumers.
