Did anyone else feel like they missed the bit where it explained why you shouldn't be building websites for iPhones?

I kept looking for a sentence which summarised the analysis of performance issues and brought it home. I don't think iPhones were actually mentioned in the last 3 sections.

I did learn a lot reading this about trends in mobile performance, it's a good article! I'm just not sure why it has this title - "Stop Building Websites for iPhones" probably would've been a better fit for Alex Russel's linked article, which actually shoots its shot:

When we construct a digital world to the limits of the best devices, the worse an experience we build, on average, for those who cannot afford iPhones or $800 Samsung flagships.
