How is that an "inferiority complex" Inferior in that they can't afford it? Inferior in that they can't use it? Inferior in that they don't have the Apple logo? I can't figure out, can you please elaborate? Fact is in my experience most Apple users always wave their device like "hey look at my Apple thing" whenever they got the opportunity, which is not true for other non-Apple users.

I'm not suggesting that Android users -are- inferior at all.

But the commenter seemed to have an inferiority -complex-

I've never seen an Apple user wave their device and draw attention to themselves. If you see the glowing Apple logo on the back of a laptop and pass judgement on the user's personality, that is entirely a problem of your own making.

The glowing Apple logo has to have some mysterious purpose I don't understand besides drawing attention. Apple knows perfectly who their users are.

It seems to work really well at agitating Android users...?

And how much you say you did pay just for agitating Android users?

Seems the butthurt/£ ratio with Apple devices actually represents really good value for money.

So at the end you finally acknowledge that what really matters is how other people actually feel. Thanks for confirming.

I hadn't considered all the benefits when I purchased my laptop, but this conversation has cheered me immensely.
