It's funny, I see the word 'snobbery' and don't know if it's referring to the Apple product buyers or the woman making this comment... in reality the people who used to complain about Mac owners being snobs have actually become the snobs themselves. Yeah, there was a certain snobbery to Mac owners like ten years ago, but now most Mac owners are like... whatevs, I own a Mac. But Windows/Linux users rarely miss an opportunity to take Mac owners down, while simultaneously complaining about Mac owners being the snobs.
It's easier for you to upgrade your device? Woo, you win at computers.
In my mind the only thing about Apple that is clear, is that they have become the "Big Brother" they used to make fun of. And I say this as a person who has used their product since the early eighties. Just call me Winston Smith!
^ this is my problem with Apple, too. They used to be user friendly and reliable, now they cut off support for old programs and OS without a thought. And they've screwed over their "Authorized Apple Dealers" in favor of big box stores.
