We paint each other with such broad strokes.
Josie (and others) here are saying that the factors in their Apple purchases were more complex than brand hype, brand snobbery, cachet, foolishness, idiocy, being impressive to other others and cultism -- but the reaction continues to be "OK, maybe not you, but the others..." I'd consider all those to be negative reasons for purchasing a device.
It's puzzling. Why can't it just be that they make good devices and some people prefer them (for a multitude of positive reasons) to the alternatives?
