What I’m saying is that these are all garbage opinions backed by nothing. “Cool” is “just your opinion, man.”

They layperson thinks of Apple quite positively. Nobody cares what us nerds here think is cool. The bazillion people who happily bought AirPods don’t care that a tiny group of nerds are still mad that Apple took away their dork expansion slot and dweeb ports.

Apple is more trusted than any other tech company with privacy in consumer surveys.

Apple is the smartphone company with the highest customer satisfaction ratings (over 80%).

Consumer reports ranks Apple first in computer support customer service.

These are quantitative measures.

Apple very clearly has command of their messaging and there really aren’t any cracks in their strategy.
