Not more like after 35 year in IT find the incessant over the top marketing hype from the computer world version of Scientologist boring and pretentious..

Compounded by the fact that they then whine about being picked on when their articles of faith of perfection and infallibility are questioned with a more realistic view of their product of worship

Apple people need to get off there high horse.. it's a computer or phone ... no greater than any other brand computer or phone with the same bugs and flaws.

you come to a thread about bugs in OS 8 and insanely silly long lines at 1 a.m. in the morning up to get the newest Apple crap and you then whine about all the Apple haters?

I've had an Apple product it was nice.... but I've had better....for way cheaper....and that's heresy to the cult of Apple types any the company that promotes it.

Apple is a study in 21st century marketing hype over substance.

Obama is a proud mimic of this hype over substance marketing model

Apple bots and Obama bots are equally boring and pretentious

Wow!! Definitely like a moth to the light.

Perhaps ADS (Apple Derangement Syndrome) is incurable.

I have been apple since my mac plus. I didn’t buy the first model because I wanted to wait and see if any bugs etc. Many apple fanatics have been somewhat fanatical. I used to see it a lot at the user groups I attended.

The NEED for a new phone or tablet etc is generated by those percentage of apple fanatics. You’ve seen people sleep on the sidewalk for days to be first for a new Star Wars etc. movie. Same same.

Apple does a pretty good job of stoking the flames. Their releases have been rest marketing events. Jobs was great at that stuff. Now apple doesn’t have a new face and neither do the others.

Apple started this in the late 80s with MacExpos and there became and expectation that they would make a big announcement every year to coincide with the expo.

Waiting to see who might emerge.

Samsung does very well. Their commercials are good, but no face to front the new product announcements.
