Haha yeah! Mac users just buy them to look cool while they write their whatever in the coffee shop! This is definitely not a preposterous and outdated observation/joke!

Wasn't there a trend where kids were just wearing dead apple watches as accessories? It's just a status symbol, like gold bracelets.

    I just graduated college and I’ve never heard of this. Can’t find anything about it online either.

    You can get a functional Apple Watch on Facebook for 50-100 bucks. So not much of a signal for status.

    We have much sillier, trendier accessories to choose from :)

    I heard this was a thing with AirPods when they first came out.

    I was recently at the airport and also saw several pairs of fake AirPod Max headphones. They looked fine from a distance, but up close it was really obvious and they looked bad.

    Yeah, and there are kids pooping in litterboxes in Texas schools! /s

    I would never trust media covering youth trends. It's a bunch of 50yos whose teenager told them something as a joke and they took it seriously.

Sounds like it hit a nerve to be honest

    I have both a Windows and a Mac. What triggers me isn't people insulting Apple products, but immature, gaming-forum ass, console warring. People need to grow up.

    I have one because I am a professional with a job and don't have time to mess around with Linux on my laptop when I'm not getting paid. That leaves Windows and macOS. I haven't had a good Windows experience since XP.
