@helloworld Cool. With the amount of apple fanboys out there, I'm suprised this isn't a regular.
-
I think I'll start saying "my OnePlus", just to annoy those people.
Maybe they'll realize just how..... who am I kidding, They're beyond help -
eldamir12298yI think its a display of branding. Great marketing. Brand recognition is important. I don't specify Asus or Lenovo, because they are indiscernable. Apple products are thoroughly marketed and everyone recognises them.
I think it is fine that people use their name.
Furthermore, they HAVE names. Many other manufacturers just put a serial code on it => poor branding.
Anyway, just trying to say that this has nothing to do with fanboyism, rather marketting -
@eldamir To me, saying iPhone *all the time* is a display of complete blind loyalty.
I don't use my phone's brand because all I want is a good phone. Right now that's OnePlus, but that might change.
Using the brand name shows that they like just it because it's an iPhone - even if they actually have a reason. -
I agree with @eldamir. It's all about recognition. This is not something you should be worried about.
The Apple person is trained and paid to call the products by name. Not sure why it would annoy someone? -
@uziiuzair Must've misunderstood. I meant Apple users. The classical "I'll check on my iPhone".

NuoNuo2128ythat's just the result of the most amazing branding ever been done from a company. Apple became the Bible, Apple Store the church, sellers priest, and consumers believers. where religions lose more and more believers (because totaly out of its time, doesn't captivate young people etc... ) brands become the substitute for what people need to believe in. It feels good to belong to a strong group and preaching with this vocabulary must be reassuring.
that's my 2cents opinion ;)

I've never heard an Apple person say "laptop" or "phone". They always specify that it's a "MacBook" or "iPhone".
Just an observation.
