Iphone owners have unfeasibly high opinion of selves
A US mobile phone survey has confirmed that people who buy an Iphone are self satisfied and feeling very smug about their purchase.
The ChangeWave survey said that 72 per cent of Iphone owners are 'very satisfied' with their purchase.
According to Techradar the statistic is head and shoulders above the rivals leading some to question the credibility of the statistic.
Part of the problem is that ChangeWave has not revealed how many felt just happy with their purchase or even unhappy with it.
So while some people might have their lives in perspective and not get all rabid about owning a phone, Apple users tend to get all moist when ever the gadget is mentioned.
Thus, when asked by a person with clip board if they are happy with it, they tend to grab the collars of the interviewer and say "God yes, please Steve Jobs take all my money with bogus lock in contracts and shaft me some more with your bogus consumer contracts."
Palm, who rated at just 30 per cent satisfaction, point out that while its smart phone is OK they just can't develop that level of religious commitment among users.
Palm's Paul Loeffler showed Techradar a Satmetrix survey that shows that 65 per cent of Palm owners gave their handsets 8-10 out of 10. ยต

Well at least us sane people have low enough opinions of apple fandom that it some what balances out.

Apple is an interesting cultural phenomenon, but only from a purely scientific point of view. Their marketing seems to both target and create an army of smug followers that are out there actively recruiting other people who are highly susceptible to a highly inflated self image and the idea that owning a product can make you cool. The fact that they can do this could tell us a lot about how culture works via the spread of ideas through all the levels of the apple BS chain. 

For me Apple's tactics have had the opposite effect. I see through their crap and can easily see that the "value" of their products are typically less than the value of my money. I am also constantly asking myself if I want a product because I need it, want it, or if I have some retarded idea that the thing will make me cool, or whatever irrational subconscious ideas that accompany purchasing desires may arise. So thank you Apple for making me an even smarter shopper.
Apple, being the first GUI, became the darling of Academia, many of whom went straight from their IBM Selectrix or Dumb Terminal green screen, to Apple.

Of course, Academia is innate with an unfeasibly high self esteem, which sole purpose often seems to be to instill that awe in others. Infallibility not a question; so why bovver?

Now Apple also appeals to fashionista chic-minded chums who want to think they buy top-shelf.

All phone interfaces could use drastic improvement. The touch-screen is cool.
I think labbeling Iphone owners as having unfeasibly high opinions of themselves just because they are very satisfied with their purchase is a bit, well, off. I don't see a relationship there at all, it's just been completely pulled out of a hat.

Maybe a career as a spin doctor would be a better choice?
