    Is that how apple users see themselves?

    I’ve always seen them as gullible hipsters paying more than they need to because of the logo.

      At least in Enterprise IT, typically, I used to do IT at a small firm and the 2(?) directors with MACs very much liked having the special computer.

      The current really large corp I work at, barely anyone has a MAC, and the like 1 I interacted with felt similarly

      I think Apple users typically fall into one of a few different categories:

      1. “I’m a creative/visionary
      2. “I don’t really understand computers”
      3. “I need a native Unix command line”

      I think both of these assumptions are wrong. I think most apple users are just people who aren’t “computer people” and want an operating system that just works to do the things they want, and are ok with paying extra to not have to worry about drivers or linux/windows issues.

      Of course there are apple fanboys, but I don’t think they are the largest subset of users.
