The iPhone is one of those devices which is always going to be popular across a wide class of consumers.

On the other side of that coin are the users who care more about what it looks like, and the name attached to it, the ones who will always favor form over function. Fortunately for Apple, the iPhone provides enough bang for the buck to cover both sets of consumers and is one of the main reasons why it is so popular worldwide.
