Why is anyone a hater or fanboy of any company? Why not just buy what works best for you practically and financially, regardless of who made it?

Oh, because that's sensible.

I myself don't hate Apple.
I used to use their products a lot in the late 1980s and 1990s.

But I do hate a lot of the Apple fans.
Mac vs PC commercials were really annoying too.
Although a Mac is a PC so it's more like OSX vs Windows.

'Preference' is nowadays replaced by the word 'fanboy'. Ironic, isnt it...

I think the label for fanboy is someone who chooses a product based on the company rather than the quality or price of the product.
Or someone who hates other products just because they belong or don't belong to a particular company.

i don't buy apple products because they're too expensive for what they offer. they have a great style and are easy to handle though, i can understand why people buy iphones or imacs. it's more of a prestige object

I despise Apple in general.

But I've got an iPhone 4, for which I paid like $200 USD after trading in my old phone. I got it not because of what Apple did, but for what the iOS community of software developers have created. The only iPhone Apps from Apple I use are the basic ones like the iPod, Alarm, Calendar, Safari (which is a shit browser btw) and occasionally the calculator. I'm 100% jailbroken and I haven't updated the iOS software since 4.0.1 or something. They just continue to pump out updates full of nonsense we don't need.
