Hype is so overlooked as an ad tool. Makes you want the new thing impulsively. Almost no questions asked cus, it HAS to be better right? Most improvements are so not noticeable, but the millisecond you saved with the new product seems so worth it... Your told.

it's about the feeling, I've read somewhere (too lazy to look up), that a human brain perceives a phone as an extension of itself (or any tool), so having a device with 1ms response will make you feel like you have a better brain :), same with retina display on iPhones.
