iPhone users are delusional, consultants say | Technically Incorrect - CNET News

iPhone users are delusional, consultants say | Technically Incorrect - CNET News: "Many people I know are frightfully attached to their iPhones. They treat them as if they were a peculiar and exotic lover, one they can hardly believe they have managed to seduce.

The finely calibrated minds at Strand Consult have taken this analysis to a particularly simple conclusion: iPhone users are, the consultants say, really quite nuts.

The Strand thinkers released an opinion entitled 'How will psychologists describe the iPhone syndrome in the future?.' It focuses on the sorts of people who buy into Apple's great success.

Here's a flavor of the somewhat-skeptical nature of Strand's feelings: 'Apple has launched a beautiful phone with a fantastic user interface that has had a number of technological shortcomings that many iPhone users have accepted and defended, despite those shortcomings resulting in limitations in iPhone users' daily lives.'

The consultants' likening of iPhone buyers to kidnapped hostages may raise more than the eyebrows of many an Apple fanboy (fanperson?). Indeed, it already has the Mac world aflutter."

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

The iphone is a hassle free smartphone. If you want something that simply works, it may be for you. No delusion required.
