I always assumed that iDevice users were just (mentally) lazy. They’re the type of people that aren’t interested in learning new things and they think you’re the annoying one when text messages don’t show up correctly/full size on their iPhone.
To be a “techie” one needs to constantly be learning new things so it certainly feels like someone with an iPhone would be a tech noob… because the techie will have tried hundreds of things with all their tech devices and get excited when new stuff is available to try out. Whereas the iPhone user will just be satisfied with what’s familiar.
There’s Android people like that too… That don’t want to bother with learning a new device if they switch to the iDevice ecosystem. They even get super annoyed when an app makes minor changes to its interface. Like when Google recently changed their camera app so that switching between photo and video modes used a new slider UI element these people would be loudly bitching… Even though it really is a nice improvement once you get used to it.
Most people don’t like change that’s forced upon them. This is why Apple spends billions advertising the features of their products: So users will think positively of the changes instead of moaning about things getting changed right from under them.
