BINGO.

People buy Apple products because they:

are of excellent build quality,
have significantly better security and privacy protections than competing products, and
provide a superior overall user experience compared to the competition.

User experience is something that must be experienced to be truly appreciated and is not something that can be easily quantified with a number on a spec sheet. Specifications alone don’t tell the whole story and don’t indicate what truly matters the most: how good the overall user experience is. This is something that people who are hopelessly fixated on specifications have a really hard time understanding.

Superior user experience is subjective.

I actually find apple products to be very irritating to use.

I recently started using Linux about 6 months ago and I didn't rage at all. Where as apple phones and macs made me want to throw that shit against the wall.

If the transition from windows to linux can be so smooth but windows to Mac is dogshit-- it doesn't speak well to the superior experience.

Having originally owning an iPhone 3gs up to an iPhone 5 then getting sick of that walled garden apple has-- the switch to Android wasn't bad. But trying to use an iphone-- nope.

As someone who has used and developed software for all of the above mainstream (and some not-so-mainstream) operating systems since the 1980s, and uses each of them without issue on a daily basis, I can confidently tell you that's a you problem.

What does programming having to do with anything... Dude I hate apple products in general. But I know swift. I don't like java at all... But I know it.

Wtf are you talking about...

It's a me problem? It isn't. Because I don't use it.

The claim is that it's superior... It being superior is subjective meaning that it actually may not be superior to everyone.

If we're being honest... Linux is probably the most efficient OS over Windows and whatever OS Mac uses.
