I don't think android fans are consumed with hatred when it comes to apple products. I think it's more like being told that the iOS platform is better by people who really don't know what they are talking about and most of the consumers of Apple products are drawn into the image, looks and trendyness that comes with apple products.
I think it's very much along the lines on how audiophiles feel about people who go off and talk about how Bose is the best in audio. It's not so much that audiophiles hate Bose per say, they are what they are, but it's their fans that drive them nuts. Bose puts out an image and has that trendyness factor but it terms of high end audio quality it doesn't compare ot Polk, Kplisch, etc but Bose charges a premium.
so you have a premium price tag, stylish looks, a trendy image and then people by Bose, knowing they spent good money and then believe they have THE BEST. It drive audiophiles batty.
Apple android is the same situation to a T.
