I used my iPhone for years and after using an android for a week I feel like a stooge for ever using an iPhone. One of my co workers who's gay told me if I took my new phone to twisted (a gay bar for those who dont know) no one would be impressed. I asked what they would be impressed by and he said "an iPhone". That's all apple has left... hype, and a name brand people will sleep out over night in line for.

I used an iPhone for years and after using an Android for a year I'm going back to iPhone.
Does that mean I'm after a fashion statement? Does that mean I like a name brand? Am I only doing it because of hype?
If you want to take your little anecdote and apply it to everyone to explain them doing things and then show those reasons as bad, then go ahead, but no one reasonable is going to pay attention to you and about all you will accomplish is getting an emotional response from the people who you've painted with your anecdotal brush (which is basically what trolling is).
I know it's easier just to assume everyone who likes something you don't does so for one reason and that reason is something you look down on, but that's pretty immature.
