It's probaly not on ios as apple consumers don't just buy something on a whim. Just becuase it says G1 doesn't mean a concerning G1 fanboy is gonna automaticaly buy it. Apple consumers don't settle for anything, the apple sheep termonology is made up by people who have never used an apple product and have been stung by missleading advertisments in the past so have jumped to the assumption that this is another hyped product like all those before, but they are wrong.
Apple consumers, like all other consumers markets, range from the very intelligent, frugal shoppers, down to the moronic, suggestible type that will by anything that is popular, niche, or mainstream.
Like all other consumers markets, some apple consumers will settle for anything, including buying the newest i-device that comes out even though they just bought the previous one, and will put up with any glitch, flaw, or software issue that comes with it in the sake of saying they own an apple product, which makes them better than other people in their minds.
The apple sheep terminology comes from a range of the people you described, all the way to the people who have used apple, have been disappointed and moved away from it because they generally weren't happy with it. Many of my apple friends that use and love apple call themselves apple sheep because they love the product and wear the label like a medal.
As for your last sentence about the hyped product, that's any new, supposedly awesome product that's ever come out. Some will like it, others will hate it. Absolutely none of them are wrong about it, it's all a matter of opinion.
Now to stay on topic, I really hope Mobage gets done making this for apple devices as soon as possible so all those fans get the opportunity to love or hate it for themselves.
