Since the iPhone is an Apple product, why, yes, it is.
Well, for those of us who could give a crap about anti-iPhone opinions like yours, threads like this are monotonous. If you don't like it, Google can help you find plenty of other sites to browse.
If you find it monotonous...then why are you reading and replying to it? You should follow your own advice and ignore it for other, more interesting threads. I'm a reader here, just like you....the site owners can see my opinion and choose to ignore it or not. My opinion is, the hardware stories on the iphone and it's multifinger interface are somewhat interesting, but I could care that "Bolshoi Wireless has exclusive marketing rights to the 3G pink iphone in Lithuania"...there's a tab for the iphone stories, put that kind of story on that tab...people interested in the iphone are smart enough to figure out it's there.
PS....at least there's a new story about a 10.5.3 developer seed
