Apple's real SOP is to make white males believe in the inevitability of Apple cultural dominance so they feel inclined to buy anything with the logo on it as a signal

i.e. you convinced yourself Vision Pro was great before ever using it

>Apple customers demographics from 2019 show that about 51% of all iOS users were female, while 43% were male. Moreover, the percentage of female users in the US was 58%. While it’s a small majority, it is the only major smartphone vendor with a majority of female users.

Strage to point out white males in your statement.

I don't 'do' Apple, neither do the vast majority of my friends.

But, having used a borrowed mac product in the past, I do recognize that using them is just... pleasant. Not enough to justify the higher price point, but the superior user experience isn't just marketing.

The Vision Pro's marketing doesn't suggest they are targeting white males. For example their landing page[0] features zero of them.

Among large countries, the one with the highest Apple market share is Japan.
