Calling people sheep is an insult. Its a stereo type and once people start casting down stereotypes they stop thinking. There are people here who would rather call people names than try to even understand why they would buy an iPhone over an Android, an Xbox 360 over a PS3 or vice versa for both of these. Noone ever got called a sheep by an Android fan for buying an Android phone because everyone else has an Android phone. Its an insult reserved for people who dare to think differently even if they think alike to many other people.

There are a lot of people who buy Apple products because they are cool without any proper reasons for buying one. Very often they don't understand the competition and just think that the iPhone is the only answer because of Apple's ridiculous adverts. I am a bit of a sheep because I always buy Sony products, but at least I know that there are often better alternatives and the advantages of my various Sony things

You can say the same thing about so many different products. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, TVs, bottled water, computer parts. Its not something which is restricted only to or could really be proved to be more prevalent amongst Apple product owners. Its pointless to single out one group when there are many others which are equally or more guilty of this.
