Some people are claiming they were the xth person in line to buy an iPhone.
I've rarely met any person who actually knew what their phone was,
technically, but what I find extremely telling is the iPhone buyers exclaim in glee that they're number 500 in a line of people lining up to buy it.
Do you see why that's extremely interesting?
a. They know nothing about the device
b. SO they're using herd affirmation instead of intelligence

Essentially, when someone claims that they're number 500 in a line buying
an Apple device, they're telling us their decisions are of a herd-animal.
Notice Android owners also are technically incompetent, like iPhone owners. But... And this is big....
You never see them using herd-animal mentality to affirm their choice.
Just iPhone owners do that.
It's one reason I say most iPhone owners are ignorant uneducated sheep.
Because anyone claiming they made the best choice because everyone else
made that same choice, is not thinking like intelligent people think.
They're influenced 100% by (admittedly brilliant) marketing propaganda.
Just like most people in Russia are.
They lost the ability to think for themselves (or, they never had it).

Yeah, that’s not really the deep insight you think it is. People line up for
all sorts of stuff — concert tickets, new consoles, sneakers, Black Friday sales — and nobody calls them “herd animals” for it. Sometimes it’s about the
excitement, the social thing, or just wanting to get the product early.
And the idea that iPhone buyers “don’t know what they’re buying” doesn’t hold
up. Surveys from places like CIRP and Statista put Apple’s customer satisfaction and retention around 90%. You don’t get that from people blindly
following ads.
Also, let’s be real — Android fans line up too. Check out Pixel or Galaxy launch events; same buzz, same excitement. Acting like it’s only iPhone owners
doing this is just bias, not analysis.
So yeah, it’s not “herd mentality.” It’s people being people. Calling millions
of users “ignorant sheep” because they enjoy a product you don’t? That’s not
critical thinking — that’s just tech snobbery.

Huh? The herd is buying Android phones. Those who want/can afford better buy Apple.
The only thing vaguely interesting is that you are wrong. Again.

That's not "interesting" ... is *normal*. The moronic "Marion" /
"Arlen" troll is *ALWAYS* wrong.
