  • Agreed. There is a snobbery to Apple.

    They (my inlaws) are all on apple and they get these $2k+ Macs and they do less on them than I do on my non-apple laptop that I got refurbished for a few hundred, but I get a definite sense from them that non-apple products are beneath them.

    One of the older family members sends emails and occasionally looks something up online. She often has to hunt down her Mac because she hasn’t used it in a couple of weeks. When she needed to replace it, I suggested something like mine and she got quiet and changed the subject. The next week she was telling me about her new Mac. It cost a fortune, but she didn’t tell me that, to her credit.

    They all have iPhones too as if anything less would mean they were in a slightly lower class. I love them or I’d tell them to pound sand.

    The person who downvoted you hasn’t experienced this snobbery. It exists though.
