Some day I'd like to write a book about what's so very different about you
strange Apple trolls who feel just because I can understand Apple's
marketing strategy means that I'm (somehow?) jealous of "everything Apple".

In a way, though, you're right in that I'm impressed by the brilliant Apple
marketing that sells what is in effect a cheap device, for tons of money.

Cheap batteries. Cheap RAM. Cheap hardware. Dumb-terminal design. etc.
People have to buy AppleCare+ just to keep that cheap iPhone working.

They spent so much keeping that cheap iPhone alive that they literally
stand outside in lines wrapping around the Apple store to trade it in.

All at the same time congratulating each of the herd animals next to them
who also can't wait even a minute to ditch their old iPhone at the store.

Just to get another crappy iPhone that Apple marketing tells them to do.
No different than Virginia Slims ("You've come a long way baby").

Apple couldn't get away with selling its crap without that marketing any
more than Big Tobacco could get away with for their cheap expensive cigs.

So, you're right Jolly Roger. I'm rather impressed by Apple Marketing.
