Why are people so obsessed with apple?

I do not have an iphone, but one day I took my phone out and my friend was like "Which iphone is that?". When I told her it was not an iphone but another smartphone brand she was like "Well is it a smartphone?", and she looks at it and is like "Does it have apps?". LOL. She assumes that because it is not apple, it must not have apps?

Why do people assume that apple makes everything and that everything apple does is perfect?

Another person I know says she likes iphones the best, even though she has never once used another brand. She was like "Yeah I know, but apple is just… Better"

Every wealthy person I know (whether in my family or celebrities) all use iphones, even though driods are much more advanced.

Same with computers as well, people are obsessed with macs even though they are very overpriced.
Added (1). In addition the technology news media is VERY biased towards apple. Every review always gets a perfect score and rave reviews.
Added (2). People look down on other brands that are not apple. People make it seem like if you do not have apple, you must be poor.
