Introducing the Ultimate Apple Aficionado: A Single Father, 29, With Over 100 Devices Valued at $36,000 – and His Daughter Named After Steve Jobs’ Child, Lisa

Pop stars and actors may be the first people that come to mind when we think of megafans.

But you might be surprised to know that one man has been crowned the world’s top Apple superfan in an international competition organized by SellCell.

Software engineer David Freedman triumphed out of 1,000 candidates with a collection of more than 100 devices in his Kansas home.

The 29-year-old’s impressive shrine is worth a whopping $36,000 (£29,035), and even includes a pair of glasses designed by Steve Jobs’ former optician.

But David’s love for the tech giant doesn’t end there, as he even named his daughter after Lisa, the daughter of Apple’s co-founder.

‘I am extremely proud and honored to be able to bring the title to Apple’s home country. “A lifetime of being called ‘Apple Sheep’ has finally paid off,” he said.

‘Apple is much more than just a company to me. It is a community and an ecosystem that touches many aspects of my life.

“Every time Tim Cook takes the stage to present a new product it feels like Christmas morning.”

David’s passion for Apple began when he was just a teenager while writing letters to Steve Jobs.

“I was inspired by the story of when Steve Jobs was in high school and called Bill Hewlett to ask for replacement electronic components,” he said.

‘Not only did he get the papers, but also an internship at Hewlett-Packard. She was hoping she could have a similar opportunity.

‘Unfortunately, responses from Steve’s personal assistant were lost over a decade ago. Although I still have some pieces of it, in a sense.

Today, every room in David’s house is painted in each of the six colors of an early Apple logo.

Every door, fan, lock, camera and TV are also controlled by Apple’s HomeKit technology, while Siri is used to open the garage and control the heating.

David takes a ‘religious vacation’ from work every time Apple makes an announcement or hosts its annual September event

David even takes a “religious vacation” from work whenever Apple makes an announcement or hosts its annual September event.

“My house matches the six-color Apple logo that highlighted the graphics capabilities of the Apple II in 1977,” he continued.

‘I received a lot of concerned comments from friends and family about how it would hurt the resale value or how horrible it would turn out.

“However, I wasn’t going to let any of that stop me from having a home that I was happy with.”

Although David is proud to have earned the title of Apple superfan, he admits that it is difficult to find a partner who likes him too.

‘I have a seven-year-old daughter called Elizabeth (or Lisa for short), the name of Steve Jobs’ daughter and the name of the first computer Apple released with a graphical user interface.

“But I’m currently single; it’s hard to find a partner who’s okay with taking second place to Apple.”

David received a new Series 9 watch after scoring all the answers correctly in the fastest time as part of an Apple-themed contest.

He added: “You would think that a person who already owns over 100 different Apple products wouldn’t be excited about purchasing another one, but I always am.”

‘Not only as something practical that I will take advantage of but also because of what it symbolizes.

“It will be an honor to wear it and I will surely show it off to anyone who will listen.”
