    I have family who actually believes all of what you just said. The tribalism can get a bit much.

      Once the brand becomes a core part of someone’s identity, the company can do no wrong and it’s extremely difficult to convince them otherwise. The level of willful ignorance is astonishing. We have a similar problem in American politics.

        This will probably shock you to the core, but some of us can use and enjoy the company’s products for a wide variety of reasons, whilst continuing to be skeptical and not liking every one of their decisions.

          You like a thing I don’t! You’re a fanboy of that thing. Why else would you like it?

          I tried to explain to my MIL once that iPhones contain mostly Samsung chips and Samsung displays just like most non-samsung Android phones because Samsung happens to be the best semiconductor manufacturer for phone parts. She paused to look at me like I had 3 heads and continued on about the unicorn farts and rainbow barf that makes her iPhone work.

          Not long after that she bragged about how good of a deal she got on the 3 year contract with the regional carrier who has the worst coverage for the $1k+ phone that costs her more in a single month than I pay for a year of prepaid phone service. She even tried to say we need to switch to the plan she’s on to save money…
