Nice try at deflection. That you like other products, and that you have preferences, is not the point.
The point is that, you (and that other dude), are cult-like in your love for Apple and its products. Apple can depend on people like you to keep them flying above the clouds, even with their minimally updated products.
You would buy the iPhone 7 for no reason other than, it was just an iPhone 6 with no changes other than, it came with a new color or with a slight change in he Apple logo (2 bites instead of one).
Like I said, it’s all about the cult-following. You people are very predictable, and you and that other dude are constantly on the defense for Apple, if anyone dare to even look at an Apple product in the wrong way.
Like I said, look out for Kevin Bacon. He doesn’t like “followers”. Followers are deranged and dangerous. ;)
It works exactly the same way ... :-) ...
