Since you directed me to this thread:
I LIKE apple for how they marker and grow their army of sheeple robots who buy their same phone every year, even though they use it the same way as they would use the older model. I admire the great marketing of apple company, great business entity.
As for the fanboys - I do not rage, I just laugh and find it stupid to overpay for a logo (oh, yes and "superior" OS). It is just amusing. No rage from me (again, not sure why I was directed here as this does not apply to me
).
Hope my answer is good enough.
