    apple people buy every new phone because they have massive FOMO and don’t want to be “shamed” by appearing poor by having an “old” phone.

    Apple has created a cult of weirdos obsessed with spending thousands in service of their company for imaginary status and clout.

      That might be true for some.

      I genuinely just love iOS.

      I got the 2nd iPhone, then the 5, got a 6 plus used, then got an SE2, gave that to my daughter, now I’m rocking a 12. This 12 was a gift from a friend or I wouldn’t be using it.

      I won’t upgrade until I absolutely have to.

      I honestly just genuinely prefer iOS to android.

      And then their computers. If you were using a Mac with system 7, you can use a Mac today. Old folks suffer with change. Every new windows they move stuff around and make it impossible for old people (like my poor uncle who is still looking for “my computer” constantly).

      My daily driver is Linux, but I love MacOS as well. I still use my 2012 power mac to record music because it’s what I know and love. If I needed to do more I’d get a newer used Mac.

      Some people just like how it works and the fact that it’s been consistent for decades.
