The obvious Apple fanboy is the kind of person who sings praises to every single new version of every Apple product even when it barelly differs from the last one, never criticizes their products and goes to a queue outside an Apple store the evening of the day before a new release of an Apple product to be one of the first to buy it next morning when the store opens.

I've personally came across a couple of people just like that over the years.

(Granted, they were more common a decade or so ago)

Every single person here doggedly defending Apple's choice whose argument boils down to "it's fine it's as I like it" (whilst ignoring that everybody else has their own likes and dislikes) to justify Apple only having a closed-down environment without an open environment as another option, is probably a fanboy.

"I love it the way it is" isn't logical, it's emotional, and there really isn't a natural human tendency (in most people) to want to have their choices taken away, so something else is at play when somebody defends nobody having any options with Apple other than Apple, with the argument that "I like it like that", since logically, having the option of an open system won't take away the option of the closed system for those who like it.

That said, an alternative explanation for such behaviour is that they're just self-centred people who are extremely used to a specific environment and couldn't imagine why anybody would want it to be different, a posture which is often associated with fanboyism of the brand which makes that environment, but not always.

Also another explanation is paid sockpuppet.
