I have a friend who made the switch from being a lawyer to jury consultant.
He's told me that one of the questions he asks potential jurors is "Do you own Apple products, if so, how strongly do you feel about the superiority of Apple products compared to other brands?"
He says the vast majority of Apple owners born after 1970 use that question as an advertisement for Apple and often go on a tangent about how much better Apple is. Most Apple users (besides anyone who has a free Iphone 4 with a contract or the much older generation) tends to be fanatical about the brand.
The hypothesis, Apple users are much more susceptible to "groupthink" mentality than non-Apple users. Most of society is pro-prosecution to begin with, so he believes in minimizing the amount of Apple users to mitigate potential groupthink.
