It sounded to more like the Kickstarter succeeded, which usually means they just hit their goal. If you read the article, it doesn't claim anywhere that the phone itself is a success.

That said, I agree with pretty much everything else you said.

Say "success on ..." still sounds dishonest and clickbaity. It should be "exceeded milestone" or just "reached their goal".
