The Apple iPhone is the ultimate psuedo-intellectual smartphone. People want to feel sophisticated and high-value holding one, despite the device's operating system being explicitly built for idiots. And since it's become common, people just want to buy one to fit in with the crowd, not caring about the many rapidly-becoming-industry-standard features the iPhone doesn't have. Given these observations, it's no surprise nearly every woman you see walking on the street has their face buried in one.
My iPhone 4 is the best piece of electronics I have ever bought. Incredible build quality. Dropped that phone more times than I can count and only a small scratch in the glass. Besides iOS is superior to bloated and constantly hanging/crashing Android.
I'm not an Apple fan by any stretch and find it laughable how people need a $2000 Facebook machine, but their engineering and quality control on select products (iPhone an Macbook Air) is well worth the price, particularly if you are a frequent traveller.
Again, I laugh at people with their MacBook for facebook and internet explorer too, but you can't fault the quality of Apple's products.
