We're making assumptions based on a wild guess by two people. The link itself says "take this with a grain of salt."

There was no research into improving the iPhone, there hasn't been since the first one, unless purposefully leaving useful features out so that people buy the next one counts as research >.> Plus they get other people, like Samsung, to develop their shit for them >.>

But yeah, in the end an iPhone really is just over priced shit.
