That's what actual Apple fanbois sound like though. I believe it's a specific case of Stockholm Syndrome.
Excuse me. As an Apple fanboy, I’ve seen that both Apple fanboys and Apple haters are as worse as each other on average. Don’t fall prey to enemy mentality and think in absolutes from the worst examples you’ve seen.
I haven't seen this for any other corp though.
No Windows user cheers for Microsoft when they publish record revenue figures. They know, they paid for it.
No Android user defends phone makers if the new model has nothing new but costs 10-20% more.
But there isn't a thread or article about Apple without some commenters defending them. Regardless of the shit they pull.
Kinda like how the kind of people that buy a Rolex because it's expensive will scoff at Seiko owners. On the other hand, the kind of people that buy Rolex because they admire its mechanical movements is probably own a Seiko as well.
