A lot of people who buy apple stuff just plain don't care. If you break it, you immediately buy a new one. But even if you don't, you'll get a new one when you can. For a lot of people it's also a status symbol, where a lot of ego is involved. You still see this every time camera discussions come up, where sometimes you'll see a 15 Pro compared to an HTC Hero for shot quality.
