Not necessarily. I would pay somewhat more, simply for having more faith in the device. After all, a smartphone is the piece of electronics I use more often than any other throughout the day, and having one I enjoy using is worth it. Knowing that it's well engineered and won't let me down soon as I sit down and it slips out of my pants pocket onto the floor, or that my kid can't drown it, or my wife can't run over it with a car when I drop it in the driveway is a good feeling I'm willing to pay some amount of money for.
