It's really hard to come up with a product name as good as "iPhone". Simple does not mean easy.
Unless they're writing a phone review, nobody ever says things like "I took a picture with my Galaxy", or "I edited the video on my Pixel", but substitute "iPhone" and they sound normal.
It also hasn't become generic. Nobody calls another brand of phone an "iPhone" unless they actually mistook it for one.
