This is not about
a rational appraisal
of the thing's features!

Apple's zombie horde
of loyalists only care
about Apple's name!

And how does a name become a Name? It's branding.

thanks for your reply. I do get the satire, however..

Do you think people like Apples, therefore buy anything named Apple?

Of course not. Apple made it's name valuable by it's development of good user interface and by its high value for design. And of course by advertising and marketing its brand well.

I agree the name now has sales power, that's the whole point of branding. But branding is more than just a name.

So, if the iPhone is not a level above in user interface and in design/packaging, the brand will suffer.
