Behavioural patterns of iSheep 👑Apple users👑
A common behaviour of  👑Apple users👑 , is labelling new features and capabilities of products of competitors (e.g.  in 2013) as superfluos or  and flooding online forums with their criticism, while labelling similar features on Apple devices as , which is a form of.

One example is the “dual camera” mode that Samsung introduced on the in early 2013.

It allowed capturing photos and videos from both cameras simultaneously, which was labelled “feature creep” by the same internet forum users who consider slim design as a valid justification for smaller, batteries.

More examples include ( (15W) in 2014 and /3T (20W) in 2016),  ( in 2012), multi-camera systems, AR camera ( in 2014), water resistance (2012: , 2013: , 2014: , early 2016: ),  video recording ( in 2013), 1080p front-camera video recording (, early 2013), all of which were features -based mobile phones had years ahead of s, which were labelled as unneeded and/or superflous by critics on forums and social media, the same people that would consider it as innovative when Apple introuduced the same or a similar feature on their mobile phones years later (e.g. 18W fast charging, while Android device manufacturers already surpassed 40W and Huawei's  already has 27W wireless charging).

In addition, Air View on the Galaxy S4 (released early 2013) was often mentioned in articles that labelled it as feature creep. . Unlike “Air View”, the similar  feature on iPhones since (late 2015) is not known to be repeatedly labelled as “feature creep” by critics.

Another observation is that the same users, including many celebrities, who historically stated the slim build of Apple s as a reason for purchase (e.g., ), purchase the  despite of its 8.3mm thickness , which means that the thickness suddenly does not matter when Apple made a mobile phone thicker than usual. This proves that, unlike the Apple logo, the actual functionality of the device didn't play a role in the purchase of earlier Apple models.

This behaviour is caused by a mixture of, including the , and.

Apple is notorious for historically favour design over functionality and robustness. One example is the, released on September 9th 2015, was equipped with a battery that could only hold up to 1715 , which is considered rather menial compared to other mobile phones such as the (2014) with 3220 mAh or the  (2012) with 3100 mAh.

The core purpose of a is its functionality,
