    I haven’t seen this for any other corp though.

    No Windows user cheers for Microsoft when they publish record revenue figures. They know, they paid for it.
    No Android user defends phone makers if the new model has nothing new but costs 10-20% more.

    But there isn’t a thread or article about Apple without some commenters defending them. Regardless of the shit they pull.

      I’ve never seen anybody cheer for Apple revenue figures. It’s just a bunch of boring numbers that always go up, unless the company is brave enough to stand against investors. I’ve seen plenty of people defend Samsung for what they do, and in China I’ve seen the most obnoxious Huawei fanboys. Both of these companies have on average the same amount of new features each year as Apple does, and none of them persistently increases the price; the new model costs more now because they’ve cut last year’s models’ prices. To say that DadeMurphy is representative of most Apple fans is certainly an exaggeration.
