While it’s no secret that Robert Pattinson is a dedicated fan of Apple products, it wasn’t until recently that the Apple fever got the better of him. According to a report from People, the Twilight actor has been collecting a variety of Apple products as part of a private collection, and has named it the “Pattinson Dynasty.’”
The collection includes several MacBooks, a Mac Pro, an Apple Watch, and more.
Considering that even the most diehard Apple fans have started to embrace other devices, it’s clear that this collection isn’t what it used to be. Still, it’s interesting to see how dedicated a fan of one company he still remains.
The Twilight Saga Is Coming To An End
Pattinson’s collection gets its name from the fact that it was first started as a legacy project. The Twilight actor, who first gained fame for playing the sensitive and book-loving vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight films, is reportedly using the collection to store his personal photographs and other mementos from the series. He also said in the interview that he’s tried to remain faithful to the brand over the years, so it’s no surprise that he’s embracing Apple products in particular.
Pattinson has been slowly adding new products to the collection as he runs out of room. While he started with the MacBook and Mac Pro, he’s recently purchased an Apple Watch, and is reportedly planning on adding more products from the Apple universe as soon as he can.
An Actor’s Toybox
Pattinson’s collection is a testament to his appreciation for Apple products. However, it doesn’t come as a complete surprise considering his profile as an actor. The Twilight star is used to dealing with cameras and having his picture taken, so it’s not surprising that he’d want a gadget that helps him stay organized.
Still, the collection is bigger and more impressive than your average actor’s toybox, and it’s clear that Apple equipment and accessories have found their way there for a reason. Considering that these are products that he’s usually seen using on screen, it’s not a huge leap to assume that they’re there for a specific purpose.
The Reason For The Collection
In the interview with People, the Twilight star gave a reason as to why he’s devoted so much of his time to collecting Apple products. “I’ve always loved being around technology and gadgets,” he said. “Plus it’s a way of life that I really want to continue. I’ve always been focused on my career and never really been able to enjoy any luxuries, so I want to change that. With my collection, I can have my cake and eat it too.”
Pattinson isn’t the only one who’s fallen in love with Apple products. Many people and companies have recognized the special connection that Apple products have to their customers, and it seems that the feeling is mutual. Consider that Apple CEO Tim Cook has even called the company’s customers his “favorite part of the business.” It’s clear that whatever comes next for Apple, they’re already preparing for it.
