   I don't know if my car is "fancy" or not...   
      
   (2012 BMW 135i)   
      
   ...but I like it because of what it DOES...   
      
   ...not because of anything anyone else feels about it.   
      
   Same as my last car: a 1990 Mazda Miata.

   Most people who buy smartphones know next to nothing about them.   
      
   That's AS IT SHOULD BE.

   Sorry, but that doesn't follow.

   Apple makes a deal of colour in the middle of a product cycle.

   Nope.

   Apple DOESN'T charge more for "(PRODUCT)RED" iPhones, putz.

   Most normal consumers care about the colour of the products they purchase.

   Almost no owners even know what "price performance metrics" mean.

   And yet they are among the longest running phones.

   No Android manufacturer figured that out.   
      
   They bought a chip to do it...   
      
   ...just as Apple did.

   iPhones absolutely kill on performance benefits.
