Majority of your comments are nothing more than just bashing Apple with things that aren’t even the case.
Nobody, especially not the title of this post, says anything about this being “innovative” or “omg”.
I think you are right that there is an Apple mental field that controls people, but I actually think the effect is on the other side.
Most Apple fans just comment on something new and go like “hey, look how neat this”. The haters, on the other hand, respond with more or less the same thing multiple times even in the same thread.
I understand if a kid does it, it’s innate to humans to side with Pepsi or Cola, with Xbox or PS, but for an adult, it’s just sad.
If you love tech, just appreciate new things regardless of who the company that makes them is. And if you don’t, then why waste your time on hating it all the time? Just get a hobby.
