Re: relating IndividualProduct to Product

Niklas has another good approach.

That is where you treat "The Fairphone" as the concept of "The 1st
Fairphone Model".  There might be further models later, or there may never
be.

Before iPhone 6 there was just the iPhone (1st gen) and it's productID was
actually lowercase "iphone"
