I know she would have been disappointed if it didn't have a picture of an apple on the back.
If they want it and like what they get, then it's win win for apple and the customer.
Most people that desire an iPhone don't care much for comparison shopping. They just want the iPhone. It's eye candy all the way and if there's an apple on it, it's the right candy.

Yes, exactly why I bought one... the fact that I'm a principle software engineer and one of the lead architects for an international medical company and actually know a bit about computers didn't sway me at all, I still blindly forged forward and purchased an iPhone just for the shiny logo.
You know who else was mesmerized by that shiny Apple logo? Herb Sutter, the chair of the C++ standards committee (C++ is a programming language used in some of the most demanding computing applications ever). Even fear of losing his job as lead software architect on C++/CLI compilers at
Microsoft didn't stop him from blindly buying the shiny Apple, as can be evidenced in his recent blog posting:

He was even playing music from his iPhone the last time I saw him! Brainwashed I tell you!
Yep, the blind ignorant masses...
