People flock to Apple. Some people pretty much worship their iPhone's. Some people BEFRIEND their iPhones..
If I were to count how many times someone has tried to show off their 'new' iPhone by waving it in my face, I would run out of digits. Another thing to consider about Apple as a company, is planned obsolescence.
Planned obsolescence: "a policy of producing consumer goods that rapidly become obsolete and so require replacing, achieved by frequent changes in design, termination of the supply of spare parts, and the use of non-durable materials."
Apple uses this philosophy, as well as clever media marketing skills, to dupe people into buying their incredibly overpriced and often faulty products. That alone is enough reason to dislike the Company. Once you start to realize that it is more than just about making money it starts to make more sense.
A lot of people have described the 'Apple masses' as a cult. We all know that occultists are very powerful and they love to sneak in symbolism right before our eyes.
