Yeah, it’s so much greater than landing men on the moon & bringing them back in space capsules with less computing power than is now commonplace in your phone. It really makes constructing the Empire State Building, the Hoover Dam and the Gateway Arch in a matter of months look puny.

Finally, NOW we've gotten to the kind of comment I was expecting to see from that over-hyperbolic headline. Thank you!
I do think that it was quite an achievement in software engineering to be able to convert approximately 700,000,000 iPhones with barely a bobble, but that headline was REALLY over-the-top.
