12. They Were Made Fun Of By Merriam-Webster
Apple’s fanboys have often been made fun off in recent years. Thanks to Apple’s lackluster concepts and insane prices, those who frequently buy Apple products are ridiculed because they choose to buy from the company. Even Merriam-Webster’s dictionary pokes fun at Apple fanboys by making them as an example for the word “sheeple”, and it wasn’t a fun time being an Apple fanboy back then.
“Apple’s debuted a battery case for the juice-sucking iPhone — an ungainly lumpy case the sheeple will happily shell out $99 for,” the example reads. It’s an excerpt from a report back in 2015. As for the definition, Merriam Webster’s defines sheeple as people who are docile, compliant, or easily influenced. No one got offended by it and it was just good and somewhat clean fun. At least we now know that the people behind Merriam-Webster aren’t such big Apple fans.
11. They Have To Use Extra Power Banks
Gadget buyers are always looking at a few things first before grabbing a device. The features, the specs, and the works. One key component in a good smartphone is that it should have an amazing battery life. It seems like iPhone owners got the short end of the stick, as iPhones and other Apple gadgets eat battery life very quickly and it doesn’t take long for a fully charged Apple gadget to get drained.
This has been one of the most common criticisms of Apple products. Apple users are stuck with gadgets that start getting their batteries drained the moment they’re removed from the chargers. To combat this woe, users have to bring a power bank with them all the time. What’s the point of having an expensive gadget if it has no power to run? Apple is probably working on stuff to improve battery life, but for now, owners will have to make do with what they’re given.
10. They’re Behind On The Latest Games
The video games of today are amazing. They are leagues ahead of what they used to be. Gamers go through a lot to play the latest releases, to say the least. Some love playing on consoles, while others choose to play on the PC. The world of gaming is fantastic for Windows owners, but for Mac owners, the world of gaming is very restricted for a couple of reasons.
Macs aren’t built for gaming and everyone knows that. The price of a Mac rivals that of the best gaming rigs out there, despite being a weak gaming device. It’s not just because Macs are weak from the inside, it’s also because there are only a few titles that are compatible with Apple’s line of computers and laptops. So much for being a part of the PC master race. Macs have other users though, but still, we’d rather use computers for gaming.
9. They’re Pretty Defensive About Their Gadgets
Arguments and heated discussions are common nowadays, and it seems like people just can’t seem to get along as easily anymore. PlayStation 4 VS. Xbox One; Boston VS. New York; Apple Pie VS. Apple Cobbler… There are just so many things to get angry about nowadays. Among all these, one battle we always see is the heated and bitter rivalry between iOS and Android.
iOS and Android users are always getting into heated debates about which of the two main gadget brands are better. Both iOS and Android devices have their positive and negative sides, and this is just one of the many reasons why fans from respective sides love to get into debates against one another. It’s hard to butt in these arguments and sometimes, it’s just best to grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the word war unfold.
