> Really? 66 different phones? Is this entire industry, except for Apple, run by imbeciles?

Out of curiosity, I went to find out how many variants Apple is currently selling[1] (model, color, storage). I counted 42 distinct combinations you could possibly choose! I guess not even Apple learned from 'St. Steven', or he was wrong.

Removing the color axis whittles down the model/memory combination to a more manageable 12 options - but the point remains.

What point remains? When you're trying to figure out what phone you want, model is just about the only thing that matters. Apple has 5, of which 3 are current. It's easy to compare them, and nearly impossible to compare a list of 66 different models.
