If you look at his lighting equipment and the before/after pics, you'll realise that you need much more than just an iPhone. If I am to be convinced of low-cost equipment producing high quality images, I need to see a cheap phone camera (iPhone is considered expensive already considering the price of the mobile plan you have to pay) and cheap DIY lighting equipment you can get from hardware stores (including DIY soft boxes or reflectors etc). I don't mind PP since that's quite accessible by anyone (provided it's done in GIMP or some other free photo editing software). His lighting equipment and PP computer+software probably costs more than a full frame DSLR and lens, so it doesn't prove anything.
With the same amount of money a good photographer can produce much better and higher resolution photos than him. It's just proving that he just knows how to save on camera but overspend on lighting equipment and modifiers, meaning inefficient use of money.
