I think you and others have completely missed the point.
Apple was always going to use that equipment. It's needed for all decent video production work.
What they've shown is that you can skip the Red Camera and use an iPhone instead.

An iPhone + good lighting + microphone will give you fantastic footage.
You don’t need the drone or lift. If you’re not trying to do those effects they don’t matter. The iPhone can give you great results if you own one, you don’t need to buy a fancy camera, you can spend your budget elsewhere if you’re getting started.
I can rent a RED camera and lenses for maybe $1000/day ($3,000/week).
It's not that big a savings at all, for one of the most pivotal parts to the process, is that where you want to be skimping?
