As a musician and recording engineer, please stop dissemenating this old wive's tale. Macs WERE the choice for recording artists and content creators back when those types weren't always geeky or tech savvy maybe 10 years ago. Not any more. More movies are made on PCs than Macs, most audio is done on PCs, and most schools that teach media feature labs full of HP, Dell, and IBM PCs running Windows. Go tour Full Sail University, Dallas Sound Lab, or any commercial studio out there today. I promise, its alot more ASIO equipment then Audio Units. I used to use a hella expensive Pro Tools Mix Mac rig with big bucks in farm cards, etc. Now I use Nuendo on a PC with virtual plugin accelerator cards. Apple saw the creatives starting to leave, and bought Logic and made it Mac only to try to stem the exodus, but do you know any pro studios running Logic? This is 2009, not the 90s.
And in the US, the iPhone is considered cheap. Its $199 on contract, while most high end devices have gone for $300+ on contract until now. The Vertu devices aren't popular, and I rarely see them outside of magazine ads. Not a good comparison to the iPhone at all.
