    Audi. I always assume that the owners of these vehicles will act the maggot on the road, including never indicating at roundabouts.

    I just prefer the interface. I don't care if the camera is better or not.

    Audi -Middle aged man with greying hair, massive ego, thinks theyre great drivers but are actually dire and drive dangerously because they think it makes them cool.


    Apple - sheep. Doesn't know how restricted their devices are, and how much theyre being ripped off for subpar devices.


    Not a brand but notice a lot of people are addicted to buying useless ****e from amazon they don't need. Addicted to consuming and buying worthless plastic junk while they spend all day just looking at the amazon app. Very sad.

    Same people will also complain they can't afford xyz and are struggling financially.

    Anyone remember yuppies with their filofaxes? The modern equivalent is probably hipsters, collectively they can simply be called knobs.

    Grey tracksuit of any brand = scobe. Bonus scobe points if your kids are wearing matching ones.

    Anything with ostentatious designer labels screams new money or try hard, especially D&G, Gucci, Versace or Marc Jacobs.

    Beatz headphones - Their main concern isn't value for money or sound quality. They probably also have terrible taste in music.

    I'll make allowances for younger people - under 25 say - you can have the best intentions at that age, but lack the nous to know you've fallen for marketing hype.

    Don't forget Lee Cooper. Same price bracket as wranglers.. still popular around Crossmaglen, along with the 'dealer' boots.

    Or prefer using superior devices. It's ok though, most people who slate Apple fans as 'sheep', can't afford Apple products anyway.

    Oh yeah I forgot to mention. It's all about the look for apple users.
    Nevermind you're forced to use their ****e software and their compatibility with other computers is terrible, and their phones let you do nothing in terms of accessing their files easily without all the useless itunes and apple software they force you to install, and nevermind the fact their macbooks have such ****e hardware you'll end up paying an extra 1000 euro vs an actual useful computer.

    It all boils down to look. I have an apple product therefore I look like I have money and in my eyes that makes me cool.


    Brainwashed by marketing.

    Louis Vuitton bags that cost about three grand and look like shopping bags. Awful. Just complete status symbols generally bought by people who can't afford them.

    Penney's for men. Any man who wears clothes from Penney's (excluding socks/jocks) outside their home is cheap and his mother probably still makes his dinner.

    Ah yes. That's it not that they like something else. Must be jealousy.

    VW, Audi, Skoda,


    Anything of the VAG persuasion, most likely diesel powered.

    They're for simple aul salads who say "golf yeah, great car, yeah" for all of their 20s, then they graduate to a - a4/a6/octavia, in diesel - to top off maslows hierarchy of white goods cars - at least the lads driving dusters & konas aren't lying to themselves.

    No thanks, enjoy your 60HZ refresh rate and locked down software.

    I'd use a hundred quid Android over a 1200 iPhone.

    You have to hand it to the Apple marketing crew though, there can't be many companies out there where their customers will do everything in their power to defend their products

    I hear conflicting things about this. One one hand people I know who work with anything at all involving graphic design or audio/visual shooting and editing seem to prefer Apple products.

    But anyone I know who works with development or programming seems to hate Apple products.

    So are Apple products "superior" - and, if so, why?
