This is more than a bit of a stretch. Apple has indeed launched a new iPhone 4 successor on time, so I'm not sure where you're trying to go with your argument.
What indicates to you that Apple is using ALL of their financial resources to go after Samsung?
There's no such thing as "not on time" when there is no timeline, no announcement and no preview.
And the longer-than-usual refresh delay was due to iCloud, it has nothing to do with iPhone itself.
It's nothing like that. It's like taking a test and the guy next to you is copying but instead of saying nothing you say "Stop copying off of me" really loud then that guy is embarrassed and might get in some serious trouble later and 10 min later he tells you to stop copying off of him(!) but no one is really going to take him seriously because everyone knows he's a copier.
This is like US starting a nuclear war with China because "they stole their jobs", and then when China sends some nukes back, they realize that maybe they shouldn't have done that. Plus, it ends up destroying its own economy financing a huge war, too, and focuses more and more on the war instead of economical growth.
