Every brand wants the level and intensity of devotion Apple has, but I've never seen another brand actually pull it off. Closest analog might be the console companies, Ninty, MS, Sony, but even there however intense a defense of a company the fans put out, it doesn't carry quite the reverence that Apple fans manage. To wit, the Apple fanatics are real people, not just forum trolls. I've met them in real life.
Android has devotees and trolls as well, but Google is no Apple. Right now there's a row among android fans against Google over a series of 'openness' issues relating to closed source apks, drm, partner deals et al. When Apple screws its customers, the fans not only don't complain but they seem to feel honored to have been of service.
