An astounding bore of a human being, who based his or her decision to own
apple products upon the fact they they're shiny and everyone else owns one. They treat their
technological buying decision as a status signalling device, an entry into a club or cult. They demonstrate the following traits:
- Not being able to shut up about their apple products.
- Not being able to refer to devices by their generic name, but instead by the apple product name. For example, the will say "iPhone" instead of "smartphone".
- Not being aware of alternative products, or any reason why people may want to choose one. Examples of this are when people ask for schools to buy "iPads", despite the fact that a similarly capable android device will be more flexible and
significantly cheaper to buy.
- A religious-like/cultist desire to "spread the good news". This manifests as an endless stream of shilling that is especially pronouced in the people who produce media. Instead of a cartoonish drawing a generic phone, they will take the effort to specifically draw the apple logo on there. See the south park episode on drones as an example of this.
- Being generally ignorant of technology and thinking of their products as being the apex of human achievement.
- Owning an apple brand product for all their needs (phone, tablet, laptop, computer, etc.).
- Believing in their own
individuality, despite being in a herd of
identical thinking and looking sheep.
