I know someone that doesn’t tell people they work at Apple. They say it’s a death blow to making new friends, always resulting in in the same “well, I don’t like Apple because” or “well I prefer Android because” conversations (or their inverse).
I thought they were exaggerating until they proved it to me, by letting me witness the train wreck, at a social gathering.
People seem to have _really strong opinions_ about Apple. I’m in an IRC group and the people in there are great but then very tribal when anyone mentions Apple.
It’s a little bizarre to me, the litany of things they can talk about. I’m pretty sure I spend just about 0% of my energy thinking about where people get their phones or which mobile operating system they use.
What's worse is that the brands they use have became the extension of their identity, or even their complete identify. I once mentioned online that FaceID has failed for me almost once a day, I got attacked online by fanboys.... very strange behaviour
