So their legions of true believers must either be breeding very fast, or spending an awful lot more money. Or it just may be that 99% of their revenue come from regular people.
My personal favorite is when Apple fanatics like to compare their 2300$ macbook pro to a 400$ Toshiba gimme laptop, and sing how much better their macbook is..
Point of that little blurb is when each Mac Fanatic is spending 400$ on their iPhone, then 1300$ on their macbook air, then another 130$ on their apple TV.. it adds up... Quickly. The Fanatics are willing to pay a premium for anything with that stupid apple tagged somewhere on it.
