Well most people hate mac users, because most people hate apple?
why? well the list is far too long to list, but some examples
-stifle innovation by taking other companies/their competition to court as a business too (usually over dumb things. such as ANY phone or tablet that is rectangular in shape with rounded corners. 100% not joking, they took samsung to count for that to delay the galaxy S3 release. and it worked for like 6-8 months. they have a huge portfolio of bad lawsuits just for the sake of messing with their competition)
-they dont invent anything, but always say they invent things. they take already existing products, make them a little better, then say they were world first lol. (they usually try to sue whose designs they used if they didnt have all the patents)
-they outsource EVERYTHING to china. (granted many companies do a lot of that), but apple is one of the worse offenders. not only is literally every single part of apple products from china, their factories they get stuff from have some of the worse conditions (sweat shops are nothing in comparison. many people have literally committed suicide working for apple in china)
-They promote wastefulness by using advertising tactics and such to keep people to upgrade their devices every year or 2. just recently they publically said they sad that people are using pcs, mac and other devices for more than 2 years, but said very arrogantly. like the only people who keep devices longer then 2 years are poor trashy people.
list goes on infinitely lol
And as far as apple products, they are overpriced hardware. you are paying for nothing more then the mac operating system and the brand name. they use the worst motherboard known to mankind (foxconn), people talk about apple quality, but dont seem to understand one of the main components in it, is the cheapest trash money can buy lol.
their batteries and screens and aluminum casing/shells are good quality though (but paying $3k for should be made with the best of everything you can manufacturer :/)
most people compare $500 laptops to $3.5k macbook pros, and say pc are low quality because of that. well if you bought a 3.5K pc, it would be much higher quality then any mac on the market lmao
price/performance is no contest. i mean a pc that costs 1/4 as much will out perform it.
as for the mac osx, it is better then windows, wont argue that. windows is pretty trashy (though almost every mac user installs windows asnyway). But on a pc you can install linux. linux is far better then anything mac osx could ever dream to be. its also free and open source. (you could install linux on a mac aswell, but you then are left with nothing but a seriously overpriced pc).
And its totally possible to install the mac osx on non-mac hardware. you can build your own pc and install mac osx on it (anyone intelligent would honestly do this. you would get a far better performing mac pc for less. and a lot of people do that)
ALL apple products are completely locked down. (i owned a 3rd gen ipod touch. you couldnt even change the background wallpaper without jailbreak. think they added that in ios 6.0+ lmao. but i mean really? you cant even change the wallpaper?). though they have made lots of changes since then, all their devices are very limited and locked down. a jailbreak is 100% necessary to just USE an iphone/ipad. like its completely un-usable device without it.
They are also locked down on a hardware level, you cant replace or repair any of the hardware yourself. you have to pay apple outrageous amounts of money to fix it, to the point you are almost better off buying a new apple device lmao
Next is a lot of mac/apple consumers are arrogant douchbags/hipsters (same people who buy beats headphones....) they go around with this arrogance that mac is a superrior platform. when its clearly not at all. its the same thing that people who play on consoles (ps4/xbone) that think their consoles are superior to pc for gaming. no, they are not in any way. But its the same ignorance, stupidity and arrogance that many mac/apple consumers share. and that drives people carzy.
also many apple consumers refer to non-macs as "pcs" and say things like "macs are better then pcs". not only is the sentiment wrong, but the entire statement is wrong as a whole. like its not even a valid opinion. thats because a mac IS a PC. (back in the early 90s, macs were different from pcs, but for a very very very long time now, they use identical hardware. a mac is a pc). which anyone claiming this, is just an idiot.
lastly, most any apple consumer is a brand loyalist/fanboy. they buy products just because they are apple and for no other reason. that just scream that they are an idiot. there are non-mac users who are the same way. such as those who only buy say nvidia products. those people are not any less of an idiot.
EDIT:
Im not saying you cant like a certain brand or use them all the time (i honestly love corsair products), but i dont buy corsair products JUST because they are corsair. i do my do diligence, and research products before i buy them, and the product that fits my budget, and has the features/quality i want i will buy it. if someone other than corsair creates something i like better or for less cost, i would switch without thinking about it at all. and thats what any intelligent human being should do. stop falling prey to marketing tactics.
and yes people buy certain brands to show off. and yes macs/apple works for that. there are crowds who will eat that up. (generally the less intelligent ones), but many apple consumers overstep their boundries and try that with anyone who is either well informed or any tech/computer enthusiest know apple products are nothing more then eye candy (same with say alienware. no one who knowledgable and into tech/computers will buy an alienware... they would build their own pc). so same thing someone flaunting their crappy alienware in front of other peoples faces who know them to be ****. what kind of response do you expect? they are going to call them a fking idiot. (and from the flip side, people owning alienware will prople say/think "oh you are just jelous i spent 5K on my pc and you are too poor to afford that)
