They have been for decades at this point. Remember the iPod commercials, the ones with the dancing silhouettes of people with the white headphone wires highlighted? In the early 2000's, those white headphones were a status symbol. A literal fashion accessory, jewelry.
This progressed to the iPhone and then aluminum chassis Macbooks. The majority of people who buy a Macbook Air or Pro aren't doing it for productivity or any particular workflow reason. They're doing it so they will be seen at Starbucks or around their quad with a Macbook.
Apple is a marketing company. A hugely successful one, yes, but their main product is not technology. It's image.
Do you really believe this?
Having met and supported hardware for many Mac users in my day? Yes. If this doesn't describe you: Congratulations. You're in the minority.
Where I live people are buying them because they're capable machines with great battery life. I've never seen anyone get excited because they saw a guy with a MacBook Pro in Starbucks.
No shitting on the iPod Nano I had in the late 2000s, I bloody loved that thing and it was sturdy as a brick. Glad I never bought anything else from them tho.
Me either, but living in a college town at that time I observed that people were definitely going around wearing their white earbuds (sometimes even fake ones!) without listening to anything just to be seen wearing the things. It was really rather silly, looking back on it now.
