Apple is just a status symbol for yuppies who think they're elite. Microsoft and for that matter, Android is open source, 3rd party friendly for producers, functional and practical.

even though I am no fan boi, by any means, and have been an ADVANCED user of all things technology, using android/microsoft/apple products for OVER 30 years, I will grudging admit that Apple by far is the best of the 3 choices, if you want GUARANTEED interoperability, and functionality that works with ANYTHING apple, 99% of the time..

I'm as far away from being a "Yuppie" as is humanly possible, so even though some people think Apple is some sort of "status symbol", its really the infrastructure that works with the least amount of trouble for almost anyone, much more so than Android or Microsoft..

Apple makes phones. We all have them. There’s nothing elitist about a phone. What a serious inferiority complex it would take to draw that conclusion.

We all have smart phones. I thought that was a straightforward statement. Suggesting that one brand’s pricey phone is elitist and another’s isn’t, is a so inane I can’t believe I’m even discussing it.
