No my experience, there are plenty of these techy customers online but I have yet to meet such Apple user IRL

The entire premise and point of the Apple experience is not having to be fully aware of the tech. At all. Ever.
For most Apple users, the tech is just not the point. It's that it is air. Don't think about it unless it's missing or stinks.
The only thing I miss is side loading and emulators, but again, even that might be coming. Android literally only has photos and google home devices over me. I don't even care for gmail anymore.
This couldn't be further from the truth. They change the tech every year. The Apple experience is being distinctly aware of all the new tech available every year because of Apple's sheer force of marketing and FOMO.
Literally: as long as it’s faster, longer battery life, and better camera, they will buy it or upgrade to it. It’s a status symbol.
You quite literally admit they do in your very next sentence.
