[QUOTE="superczar, post: 2249874, member: 281"] This has probably been done to death - but just a couple of points from someone who is old enough to have flipped between OSs (mobile and desktop) bunches of times. - Are Apple products aspirational, esp in India - Yes - Do some people, especially in the 20-25 demographic buy Apple with the primary intention of showing off - Yes - Does that make people who prefer apple (specifically for end user computing only) due to general convenience/ ease of usage/ less time spent tweaking etc idiots / iSheep / whatever - No Speaking for myself, Over the years, I have noticed that I spend less time on tweaks/ optimization/ troubleshooting when on iOS / OS X than when on Android/ Windows And while the latter was a fun pursuit on its own when I was in my 20s, it progressively turned from fun to a chore - time that I could better utilize elsewhere - like play with my kid or dogs - or head out for a beer with friends. Also , the TCO with Apple has turned out to be lower than others because of the far better resale I have got for say my MBAs/MBPs than Dells/ Surfaces etc and similarly for iphone/ ipad over Samsung/ One Plus etc In any case, many iOS/ OS X users on this forum or elsewhere are way too old/ boring/ whatever to even think of, let alone attempt showing off by using Cupertino products. Does that not make it reverse snobbery to call someone who prefers Apple products a brainless zombie/ isheep? PS: To reiterate, I have spent enough time with all major OSs of all forms to say the above with a reasonable amount of conviction [/QUOTE]
