By most measures, Apple makes some great products. Their customers are amazing fans. The Apple tribe tells everyone about the greatness of their products. As an owner of an iPhone, I get it. Apple has made “WOW” products, and is reaping the benefits from truly great innovation.Like most energized tribes, however, there is a sub-tribe of irritating snobs; almost elitist. These folks get on a band wagon, which they of course did not start, and they tell everyone how great their new product is, but then they just can’t help themselves….They have to criticize and/or belittle those who don’t have their Apple product.
This is short sighted on several levels, and I don’t need to spell out why. In fact, if you don’t get why that is short sighted, you can pretty much count yourself in the elitist Apple-snob sub-tribe.
There are valid reasons for not having an Apple product. Sometimes it is budgeted related; especially in these hard times. What someone has works pretty well and gets 99% of the job done just fine. Other times it’s preference. I know some business people that have found an iPhone is not the best solution for them.
Apple makes some great products; no question. Are you as classy as the products?
