Not till the day where we see Android based tablets littering nearly every good TV show and movie. These lawsuits and such are meaningless to the coffee shop / college crowd. Apple is as much an image thing as BMW cars were for the previous generation.
Far too many think that their phone, tablet, or laptop, confers status. That is going to take a lot of work to overcome that attitude. The marketing and product placement that it took to create that is the real power of Apple
Apple loses its cool right now... quickly. Wait and see. The problem for Apple is that also the "uninformed crowd" slowly starts to realize that Apple rips them off.
That's at least what's happening here in Germany where also mainstream newspapers talk negative about Apple's politics when it comes to marketing and / or lawsuits.
This may just be a pricing factor. People that earn more money and more discretionary income are able to and want to purchase luxury, or higher-quality, goods. Those at lower income levels with less discretionary income will either not purchase the high priced goods, or will try to acquire a similar product at a lower price.
In other words, the rich are less price sensitive than the poor. Thus, I don't see how one can make a connection between education and Apple ownership without correcting for income.
Or it could be that older, better educated and wealthier people are willing to pay a little extra to get something that works. Because you know as you get older you realise that time is more important than money.
My point was that blanket statements like Apple users are uninformed is stupid.
