   I worked for Apple Care tech support for a while.  Even though I had   
   never used a Mac or iPhone before (or worked at a call center), they   
   hired me.. Lol.  I noticed that iPhone users, at least circa 2015-2016,   
   were more like your average miserable angry people, but Mac users were   
   typically easy going, wealthy people.  I spoke with lots of interesting   
   people, sometimes people that worked for (spokespeople?) for famous   
   people.  Book authors, video editors, etc.  At least 5-6 years ago, most   
   of them were a whole different class of people.
