Actually, it's not more complex at all. It's really a lot simpler than that.
"
Consumers are sheep."
It has nothing to do with Apple or memes at all. To suggest that the iPhone's success has absolutely nothing to do with trends, or "my BFF has one so I simply
must have one or I'll just shrivel up and die, mommy" is ludicrous.
Of
course being a solidly designed device is a big part of it... it just ain't the whole picture.
And I'm not saying "trendy" is bad or wrong or deplorable... I'm just saying it
is a big factor. Why does crediting Apple's marketing campaigns with hitting home runs have to be construed as being critical of Apple, their products, or their designs?
Why do you seem to see haters lurking everywhere?
