B$. You know squat about their products and seem completely oblivious as to why people buy Apple. They don't don't worship Cook they like the software that runs on their products it is as simple as that. Well of course they also love that a lot of stuff won't run on Apple products. Apple customers didn't blink when they dropped Power PC because Apple OS would still live on Intel and it will continue on Apple Silicon. The hardware is a nice plus but most people could care less about the things that excite geeks, casual users out number power users a few thousand too one so they appeal to the majority.
So, researching a product and its features and cost is nothing that you’d do. Figures with someone of your basic intellect.
