An Apple logo.
There's no point looking for sense in buying an apple product. Apple fans will buy anything that is Apple because it's fashion, not because it's practical.
However, because of that, Apple is in a unique position to move technology forward. They release a product for a market that doesn't exist and so many people go and buy it that a market springs up almost immediately.
And of course, someone is going to say "Hey, we can read books on this!" and off that market moves.
