Being an engineer and being smart are not synonyms.

The fact that I mentioned those two things separately should indicate to you that I believe they don't always go together. I mentioned it and called out the specific services we support to counter the claim that only "non-tech" people buy iPhones. That's complete and utter bullshit.

Just the implication that choosing Apple is the smart choice is plainly a disingenuous argument

Good thing I didn't say that then, hu? I said the smart group of guys I work with all chose iPhones. YOU read into that and came out with "smart people ONLY choose iPhones".

You're just adding your voice to the original person I responded to. Neither of you seem to be capable of just being happy with your purchase. You must believe that iPhone users are stupid. Does it make you feel better or something?

How pitiful. The only one overly aggressive about defending their own purchase is you. I never said anything about either choice being better. Specifically I argued the opposite. But you seem extremely sensitive and eager to fight online for a multi billion conglomerate tech corp. They don't need you, and no one was attacking you in particular. I was just commenting, you know, in a public forum, to try and provide an additional perspective that overall doesn't actually differ much from yours. If you want private conversations go to a chat.
