Many people don't care about Apple or his history or Apple way of doing thing or what Apple doing... they just own an iThing without think about all the background around it.
This article really show what creep me out about Apple.. their HISTORY.
Let's start with what is Apple for REALLY old fanbois:
Being different, don't being mainstream, using app are cool... a self centered Apple.
An iPhone show as the "holy grail" phone.
Apple was build that way, "confine" to his own way.
A complete "Machiavellian" way to being the minority and being the leader to follow.
"My phone is better than your" with the point of view... and whatever your phone doing, he will never be better since mine is so advanced.
It's that way Apple became a leader.
So I don't feel surprise about those "elite group" being than much "self centered".
It's the way (old) fanbois Apple users are use to think.
Whatever the world do, they'll be "conservative" with theirs old Apple ideas.
