    I don’t see much of a material complaint behind this, just a brand fanboyish “hehe Apple users stupid amirite”

      I don’t know many users of other brands who camp one day before the store to be the first to get a new mobile and neither are those who buy a PC, whose 4 wheels must be purchased separately for $699. They will have some mental defect.

        I feel like it’s just a case of brand loyalty that was once ascribed to people buying eg. Rolex watches or luxury cars, but Apple brought this over to the consumer electronics realm.

          I think Apple is more of a cult than a technology company, fleecing its acolytes with exaggerated prices and conditions.
