Why do people still pay so much for damanged iPhones?

It's funny how pathetic some people are. I sold my cracked, dented and slightly bent iPhone 6 Plus (16GB) online for roughly $600. And because of my insurance and discounts, I was able to pick up a brand new one and had extra cash on the side, which I'll put toward the next iPhone.

THE GHOST OF STEVE JOBS FORCES THEM TO BUY IT.

An iphone is an iphone

Depending on how bad the damage is, it could be repaired for not much money. Also iPhones hold their value better than other phones.

For example here, Galaxy S5's are selling for as much as iPhone 5's. The 5s is selling for more.

  • Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
  • Why do young people love iPhones so much? I'm 22 years old (so I'm young myself) and I honestly don't see the fascination with them. Nowadays, you get really good androids that are just as good and cheaper too. I have a Windows 8 phone and I love it. I'm not bashing iPhone users. I only want to know why a lot of young people (especially girls) favour them over other just as good smartphones. Is it really true that a lot of people have more money than sense?
  • Why do so much people have iphones? I see iphones everywhere i go, everywhere i go. I saw at least 5 of them today. There are so many smartphones out there that are way better and are basically the same thing, so why iphone? And NO i'm not jealous of them cuz i have a smartphone myself. It looks like an iphone but its better quality and has more features, cheaper, etc.
  • Why Do people still have IPhones? I don't get why people still use IPhones after all Samsung is the best company now and has some of the best phones like Galaxy's
