No, it’s what they said.

Saying they claimed their phones to be secure is just a lie.

It's a stretch to argue that "safest, most secure consumer mobile device on the market" is not a claim of security. The average reader would not interpret that statement as you did, which makes the statement misleading.

It is a claim of relative security but it is a lie to say that Apple claimed their device is secure.

I think most people can read the statement for what it is - a comparison to other devices on the market.
