Android passive feature. If someone says "Android, ew, are you broke", they are not worth being friends.

[mihoda]

Brand loyalty is stupid.

But technical lock-in is real.

[jess_o]

"Kinda dumb" is a huge understatement

[paugirones]

I once said to a friend, "a brand is just a business that exploits your feelings". I know, that applies to any current business.

[Bingiisyaboi]

I work at an Apple Store and I can assure brand loyalty is so sad, some dude spent nearly 3k on an iPad just to write notes and this guy had to use a multiple credit cards just to purchase it. I pushed him not purchase the high end iPad and just stick to a cheaper option but he insisted 😢

Honestly, I don't care what you use. It's the snobbery that gets me. Literally have people say ew you use an android... okay and?

[RickyMartinezmagic]

As someone who owns both Apple and non Apple tech I can assure you, it IS possible to use and enjoy both, without making one brand central to your identity.

Emotional Brand Loyalty: *gives example of emotional brand loyalty*
Practical Brand Loyalty: *gives example of emotional brand loyalty*

I'm an iPhone user, but I couldn't care less what other people use. I like what I like and other people are allowed to like what they like. People make it such a big deal what phone you use, but it really doesn't matter because they all do the same things.

[drew]

People like to pretend that Apple products never have problems. It's just not based in reality at all. 😂

[Butterflysoul]

It's not dumb, it's down right toxic.

[rmatty]

"Ew android, you're broke".... Whenever I hear this, I just unfold my phone and walk away

[ktktktktktktkt]

LOOOL 1:03 "It's a phone. But it's so much more. It IS a camera." I know it sounded like she was about to say something else but nothing she could say could redeem what was already said.

[MineSpeak]

As an IT worker, hearing anyone say apple products rarely have issues just makes me laugh

[evL]

Especially in the video game and phone space. Tribalism brings the worst in people especially on social media platforms

[rileyrosewriter]

Agree. No reason to be brand loyal, it's not like they are loyal to you.

[kibble-net]

Give a man a Mac and he'll compute for a year. Teach a man how to build a PC, and he'll compute for a lifetime.

[kindofanmol]

60Hz display, USB 2.0, Slow charging, 128GB and a frustratingly restrictive OS at $1000. Apple customers must have a humiliation kink.

[decommonifyable]

I get the impression you're trying to tell us something without acknowledging it for yourself

[AppleBukker]

Trashes brand loyalty



Also staunchly praises Apple over PC/Android
