   It seems entirely reasonable to me that no Iphone user actually   
   noticed, let alone cared about, such a performance issue. Do *any*   
   Iphone users actually do anything important with their devices, that   
   might have been affected by performance limitations? They bought them   
   just as showpieces -- items of adornment, to be flaunted rather than   
   used. “Look at me! I have no idea how this actually works, but it   
   looks pretty! I have more money than sense!”
