Is it because they dislike what they manage to get away with when it comes to their audience or because they think they're creating trends that are ruining the tech industry as a whole?

It's almost like you answered your own question.

And of course, there's also the fact that their pricing greatly outweighs the quality of their products.

That fits into the former part of my post.

People are often passionate about things they hate. Look how politics has riled and angered people beyond measure.

Because Steve Jobs was a hack. A rude and selfish man. A terrible husband and an even worse father. He literally didn't invent anything, but forced other people to invent things for him to show off and take all the credit for.

That might have something to do with it.

Just a thought.

And even after his death, people still act like he was the Jesus Christ of technology or something.

It's cringe-worthy.

Only thing Jobs was good at was Marketing.

When it comes to Apple I think both sides see it as if youre not with us, youre against us.

Either its diehards saying everyone else doesnt get it or the anti-Apple sentiment saying the only people who doesnt see the company for what it is must be a fanboy.

i'm not a diehard for apple but people who say they're the same thing with a higher price tag are being kind of disingenuous. there isn't really very many laptops with the same build quality as a macbook for example. although i do think they are starting to lag behind in the phone department, the android flagships are starting to get more attractive

Apple lacks any creative initiative. All they care about is using cheap labor in poor countries to make an iProduct that costs pennies on the dollars to make then they ship back to the US and sell those products for an arm and a leg.

That's the role of a CEO. He didn't invent anything, but without him nothing would've been possible.

That's all of tech.

Some people are good at creating new ideas. Some people are good at using old ideas and making them better. They stand on the shoulders of giants.

$2500 for $700-$1000 worth of hardware--

That's why I don't support Apple.

Add in planned obsolescence and them doing everything they can, be it parts availability or how they design things,
you can barely work on them yourself anymore. Which wouldn't be bad, if they actually fixed things instead of lying
about what's actually wrong, so as to push new hardware or charge you ungodly amounts for a simple fix. Assholes.
