    You forgot also they have the whitest customers.  Minorities don't own iPhones because they are less educated and wealthy which using your argument means they are stupid.  Not only are you an elitist but you're also a racist.  Tim Cook would not be pleased with you.

    Another problem with your argument is that your begging the question and assuming that the iPhone is owned by rich and educated because they are rich and educated and therefore smarter.  Can you refute the argument that rich and educated people own the iPhone because they need to fit into the status quo and any other phone, like a Samdung, would make them look lesser among their peers?

    If we look at stores like Wholefood Markets and other organic shops the main customer is rich and educated, but their purchases of $10 milk shows otherwise.  They are actually stupid for spending extra money on goods which are neither better for them or the environment.  There are many other areas that rich and educated people show themselves to be stupid.

    A case in point; do consumers line up outside an Apple store days before an iPhone release to get a great phone, or do they do it to be the first and have an opportunity to be on television and to show off to everybody around them.  The Apple employees act as cheerleaders and reinforce this thinking in the consumer's mind when they enter and leave the store with that box.  Clapping, cheering and telling them they're awesome for buying a phone.  If you want to talk worshiping; this is it.

    This shows that owning an iPhone is all to do with image among the majority of users.  That is not to say there are not users out there who enjoy the better experience and ecosystem of Apple but in the grand scale of things it is image that prevails.

    So in closing your honour, sog35 has argued that because "Apple has the most educated and wealthiest customers" the iPhone is a better product.  I have clearly demonstrated that educated and wealthy customers are not necessarily intelligent in their consumer decision making and the iPhone is just an extension of their branded clothes, shoes, watch, car, etc that help maintain their image.  Nothing more, nothing less.

    GTFO.

    That's an excellent rebuttal.  Can you please cite some sources for your argument as I wish to peruse them and further my understanding of the subject at hand.

    I take it you're not one of the rich and educated customers.

    My sister has a fairly severe case of Down Syndrome. Even through her genetic intellectual disorder, she could comprehend things better than you.

     

    You are an embarrassment to all Android whores. Run back to your pimp and tell him you “ain’t hockin’ yo’ wares no mo’.” Because it doesn’t work, sonny-jim. The level of stupidity required to believe that this level of stupidity isn’t immediately transparent is not only embarrassing, it is a threat to the continued survival of yourself and others.

    Where do these idiots come from ?

    The only thing you've clearly demonstrated is that you clearly are an idiot.

    Clearly but also clearly people here are not honest to themselves.  Too often an Apple user will make a smug comment or make fun of my Palm Pre and all they're doing is showing their elitism.  Why do people here feel the need to defend Apple so vehemently and attack Samdung users so aggressively over a device that let's us communicate on the go, anywhere we are?  My points above are still standing.
