IMHO, Apple has (to their credit) established a cult that far surpasses...any supposed technological superiority.
Particularly for the price premium.
Maybe second only to Tesla investors.
Having been talked into an iPhone 6 (Plus) a few years ago, at an outrageous price...I've since went back to Android.
It does everything (and more)...than I'll never need.
I'm with this guy.
Apple Cult
Quote:
It takes, though, an intellectual to put a deeper stamp of authority on Apple's cult status. Hosannas, therefore, to Atlas Obscura, which probed the views of NYU professor Erica Robles-Anderson.
Robles-Anderson is a cultural historian who, when examining a Manhattan Apple store, declared, "It's a cult. Right? It's so obviously a cult."
