So, a bit like those who buy Apple products regardless of the
obscene Apple pricing model, maybe.

Another pathetic case of Apple envy.

Not at all. Just making a comparison in reply to a comment. In fact,
I have nothing against Apple (or Apple users). If Apple can get away
with their pricing structure and continue to profit as they do because
they can hold onto their customer base then good luck to them. To be
honest, I quite admire their business strategies for making such
profits, even though I find their pricing a tad obscene considering
their products, on the whole, do nothing more than fulfill the same
tasks as their competitors.

Just because I am a person who would rather pay substantially less for
a product to do a job just as well or, as is often the case, better
than products offered by other "overpriced" brand names, does not mean
I am envious of those who wish to spend a lot more for their products.
Why would I be?


To do a job just as well *for you*. I have an Android phone and iPhone,
and IME the iPhone gets stuff done with very little fuss and a very
shallow learning curve compared to the Android.

The Android is good - just not as good. For me.
