This is a pretty unhelpful, dare I say DUUUUUUMB, answer

How has Apple manipulated so many people with their marketing?
Look around you. People are DUUUUUUMB.
People don’t do their homework. People like to one up each other. People like to flaunt that they have the coolest shit.
I’m an IT professional. It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than to find an actual IT professional that likes Apple products unless they work for Apple.
It’s not that Apple products don’t work, it’s that they’re inferior in every way but I guess looking cooler.
To each their own. If people want to blow a bunch of money unnecessarily, then that’s their prerogative. But people who know better are going to mock them for it.

Source: I’m an IT professional who has met exactly one IT professional in my life that liked Apple, and he was right out of college.
Point being, from experience, I know experienced tech people don’t like Apple. And that only people susceptible to advertising buy them.
P.S. Fuck you.

IT professionals may hate them, but software engineers tend to love them. Something about having a unix system with great performance and less fidgeting to get things working most of the time.
