Merriam-Webster's "Sheeple" Definition Uses Apple Fans As Example

The official definition of "sheeple" in Merriam-Webster's dictionary takes a shot at Apple.

Two examples of the word are given on the dictionary's site, one of which uses Apple fans as an example. Merriam-Webster just made the term an actual word

this past week.

Sheeple is used to describe "people who are docile, compliant, or easily influenced."

A lot of people use that kind of terminology to talk about so-called "Apple fanboys" who are willing to pay high prices and deal with limitations on their devices. Though the term can be applied to fans of many other companies.

Here's the example that mentions Apple:

Apple debuted a battery case for the juice-sucking iPhone—an ungainly lumpy case the sheeple will happily shell out $99 for.—Doug Criss
