I think you are misunderstanding what a fanboy is. Fanboy DEFENDS Apple no matter what. They wonder incredulously how they can possibly be granted the immense gift & pleasure of actually being allowed to own a phone made by Apple and pay as little as "
only $1,000+" for it. If Apple rolled out a phone:
- made of rusty razor blades, fanboys would be passionately spinning the merits of regularly turning over our blood supplies.
- that kills people, fanboys would be passionately arguing that the world is too crowded anyway... that a reduced population is good for the entire planet... all while attempting to shift actual blame to "cheap Chinese chargers" and other redirection spin standards.
- sans battery & camera now as accessories (sold separately), fanboys would be gushing at the genius of Apple for letting those that need more or less battery choose whatever size they want now (as long as it's from Apple)... and those needing a better camera can now choose whatever quality they want (as long as it's from Apple too)... all while readily pouncing on anyone griping that a battery-less and camera-less iPhone is still priced at the same level or higher vs. iPhones that used to have those baked in (because maximizing a corporation's profitability is right up there with "thinner" at any cost.. and kicking both of those out to sold-separately (exclusively by Apple) accessories would kill both birds with a single stone).
- Etc.
Who you are referencing are the
anti-fanboys and/or maybe the
crowd in the middle not so intoxicated by the Koolaid that they may have (their own "think different") opinions that may differ from whatever Apple has for sale now... and/or can question the value of a $1000+ for a phone. Those are usually the ones complaining about useful feature deprecation... decisions like the notch... and price hikes... against which the fanboys typically rally to defend: "the future"/"we must be forced"..."I
like the notch" (though I'm not buying notch stickers to overlay on up to all of my other screens)... and "only $X.XX more per month on the payment plan"/"don't like, don't buy." If all else fails: "$2XX Billion in the bank can't be wrong" and "...but who makes the most profitable <product name>?" If that doesn't work, devolve to name calling.
All
(barely).
