Apple more than anybody else, offers a kind of "cradle to grave" (for lack of a better phrase) experience to its users. Hardware, software, product range, OS integration, etc...all Apple. And they are mostly good. And well marketed. And they look great. They've almost become a fashion accessory. And that's a deliberate marketing ploy. Well done, Apple.
Windows, Android, Linux users have a choice of hardware. Mac OS users don't. Samsung, Asus, Acer users have a choice of OS. Apple hardware users don't. Ergo, the other brands just don't generate the same kind of brand loyalty. An Android fanboi is not loyal to Samsung, just the OS. A Samsung fanboi is not loyal to windows, just the hardware. It's that simple, really. Apple has created a vastly loyal fan-base with nice-looking, quality products, that are priced at the higher end of the market. And they have a cohesive vision of how to serve that fan-base. Some of that fan-base are irritating fanbois who only consider Apple products when purchasing. They have a hard time admitting that Apple makes mistakes, if they even can. (That was the context of my quote, remember?) These annoy me and make me laugh. That was my entire point. The remaining Apple users, the vast majority of them, are not.
Sorry for the length of this post, but I am trying to make myself as clear as possible here. |
Same could be said for android devices. The fanboys are just as hardcore. Ruthless, vile & a hive of villainy & scum.
iOS devices are priced just the same, & in some cases less, than other comparable products.
Fashion device is tired & old. I work from home, I use my iOS devices as they were meant. I don't stand out in the street & wave it around like a giddy school girl. When I'm out & about my iPhone is in my pocket. So where does this fashion device come from. You're just using an old cliche just to use it because you really don't know what you're talking about. Tell us how it is a fashion device. Please. I've seen hundreds of thounds of people out in public & have never seen anyone waving it out & flashing it in anyone's face. Sheesh.
Same tired old BS from an apple hater. Plain & simple. You people are disgusting. Of course you don't see apple people saying the same thing here about other devices or OSes. You guys must really be upset that you chose sub-par hardware & software. Seriously, it's so amusing now. There can be no other explanation.
