Are Singaporeans obsessed with Apple products?

When the three mobile phone service providers SingTel, Starhub and M1 released the launch date of iPhone 4, demand was so high that interested buyers had to book an appointment online with their mobile phone service provider to purchase the iPhone 4 on July 30.
One particular Apple enthusiast went to the extent of joining the queue some 18 hours before the midnight launch.
17-year-old polytechnic student Dominic Soh arrived at Hall F of Marina Bay Sands at 6 a.m., waiting for SingTel’s iPhone 4 launch at midnight. I even heard that one of my schoolmates skipped school to queue for the iPhone 4.
The iPad launch in Singapore on July 23 was no exception too. Hundreds of eager fans braved long queues and discomfort to get their hands on the coveted Apple device. I remember that day was a working day so I believe many went to work late or took leave just to buy an iPad.
personal view
I think Apple products are easy to use that is why so many people are queuing up for them. The other factor on why people are crazy for Apple products is because Apple products has this brand that gives everyone this high-ranking status
