call "we" what you will, but every one of their devices for vast majority of the part gets adopted quick af. Even after it gets massive hate initially. That's all im stating.Have to specify the "we" there. I think there are certainly a lot of Apple haters or "never Apple" people. But it's also obvious there are a lot of people that like Apple. And most of society is somewhere in the middle and doesn't really care.
I would say for the most part I like Apple, but they are far from a perfect company. There are zero companies out there that I would say could use some changes. But anyway, that's a digression.
Like you say though, there are a good chunk of people willing to roll the dice. I figured out a long time ago that first gen always gets burned pretty hard and is really for people that want to be at the bleeding edge.
iPhone gen 1 (later called "2g"), iPad gen 1, Apple Watch (later Series 0) - all quickly got replaced and pushed into obsolescence than devices that came out even just a few years later. To xDiVolatilX's point a few pages back, There likely will be faster and cheaper from Apple themselves sooner rather than later.
