Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

price
closed ecosystem that funnels you into buying more overpriced hardware
general feeling of superiority apple customers often seem to aquire

(e.g. my former project lead refused to touch other peoples devices because using them "doesn't feel like apple, eww")

All that.

BTW, of all the drivers on the road, I always hated Volvo drivers who sport an Apple sticker the most. They're pure entitled no-good scum. Except BMW drivers, they should be euthanised.

What kind of image do Volvo drivers have where you live? Here Volvos are just seen as reliable but boring.

Here in Slovenia they have this sort of hipster/yuppie clientele, basically the same demographic as the smug Apple users, that's why you see so many with Apple stickers. Usually they drive the estate version like XC70. The new SUVs are more for the executive smug base, though, but obviously they're still scumbags. :)

Ah, here it is BMW drivers, most have Apple stickers on their cars, and they are all douchebags.

I still have to encounter a BMW driver who isn't a piece of trash. Note that I actually raced with BMWs, but still wouldn't buy one as a daily driver. 🤷🏼
