Thank you. It's crazy how people here defend Aplle for the same anticompetitive practices Microsoft got grilled for.
I still don't get how one can have blind brand loyalty to a corporation.

Constant exposure to billion dolar driven advertising is very effective in brainwashing people into thinking of brands as friends. While the opposite is usually true. It's baffling that we allow this in our societies in such extend.
- spwa4 2y agoI think the other effect, that Apple is a status symbol, is more effective. Apple is expensive (less so than before, but still). In other words, an iphone "proves" that you are better than your neighbor. And people defend status symbols as if they're defending baby Jesus from Satan.
- wappieslurkz 2y agoAbsolutely, but I think advertising also is a major driver in the perceived importance of social status .

- hulitu 2y ago> the same anticompetitive practices Microsoft got grilled for. Grilled ? More like a pat on the back. They are still there with Windows, AD, Office 365 trio.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoYou just have to remember how computing was before Apple got their sh*t together. Who wants iOS to be like android or macOS to be like windows? I don’t have time to mess with those anymore.
