Nothing flew over my head because there was no joke to begin with. iSheep? again, how old are you? 

Many Apple products, besides the iPhone and the iPad, are among the best in their class and are reviewing incredibly well by PC/Android enthusiasts, this include the Watch, the AirPods, Apple TV and even the MacBooks since introduction of the M1, not to mention, a lot of their products are priced reasonably as well. I currently have the iPhone 11 and the Samsung galaxy S10+, both released in 2019, and despite the iPhone 11 costing 400 dollars less, it's running flawlessly and getting regular updates (and surprise surprise, it's getting iOS17), the S10+ is slow, clunky, buggy, and has aged terribly. This isn't a knock against Android and this isn't me saying iPhones are better, this is just an incredibly positive first hand experience of an non-premium iPhone and a good example of why these things keep on selling well. I am sure Samsungs make incredible phones as well, I probably just got unlucky with the S10+. 

Anyway, you're not here for any of this, both of your "contributions" so far are straight up trolling. 

No offense, but I really don't care what critics think of Apple's products, many of them are bought and paid for or just caught up in the trendiness of Apple's products just like the mass market is. You mention Airpods for instance, which are definitely overpriced (often 2x-3x pricier than alternatives that review just as well), and Apple removed the headphone jack from their phones several generations back just to try and force iPhone users to buy those overpriced Airpods.

I have an S10 myself, I bought it Amazon refurbished, and it still is a better phone than the 1st gen iPhone SE I had before it. The SE was bought brand new and developed a serious battery discharge problem within less than 2 years of purchase, and that discharge problem got so bad that I reached a point where my battery could drop from 100% to 0% in an hour or less. The S10, despite being Refurbished and only guaranteed to have 80% of the battery life of a new S10 by Amazon, has a longer battery life for me than the iPhone SE ever did, even after 2 years it still lasts for many hours of high intensity usage such as gaming, no certainly no rapid discharge problem like I was seeing from my iPhone SE by the same point. And that refurbished S10 cost me the same $200 that the brand new iPhone SE did, Samsung's high end model from 2019 bought refurbished in 2021, for the same $200 I paid for Apple's cheapest phone model in 2019, 3 years after it released in 2016. I won't lie and tell you it's a perfect phone, I have some nits to pick with both the phone itself and Android, but overall it has been a better phone for me than the iPhone SE was.

This isn't 2008, no one cares what phone someone has.  The iphone is no more trendy, than the next phone.  If someone likes iphone..great, if someone likes android...great, hell if someone likes their 15 year old flip phone...great.
