If the sample is chosen properly (and that's the critical part),
results from a small but representative sample of the whole population
can be statistically significant.  So just because someone has no
background in statistics is a not a reason to necessarily doubt the
premise.

Again, they tell us nothing about how these people were selected or
approached for this survey. And I disagree that you should not be
critical of data like this - especially when it doesn't seem to reflect
opinions of other small samplings of iPhone users.
