That would have been a good question to ask in, say, 2003. What does Dave Taylor say about it?
That’s a surprisingly common question and when I think about the experience of going into an Apple Store, I can totally understand the confusion. There are dozens of fancy computers in the store, many demonstrating how the iPhone or Apple iPod can interact with the computer itself, but not one of them is a Dell, Gateway, Toshiba or HP.
Apple has sold upwards of 300-million iPods to date; probably 90-percent of them to Windows PC users. The same holds true for the nearly 80-million iPhones and iPod touch players. The vast majority are purchased by Windows PC users, not Mac users.
Obviously, and in increasing numbers, Windows PC users like iTunes, iPods, iPhones, and, Macs. Unsurprisingly, not many technology journalists seem to know that, equating iPod and iPhone users with the Cult of Apple.
