It only "works" in the sense that users buy it because it's shiny.

Unless you're saying the only point of the iPhone is that people buy it, that isn't sufficient.

It works for Apple and how they want it to work. That's why it is designed well.

Design is very much depending on the intended outcome. Apple wants to sell devices -> design them so that they get bought (make them "shiny", as you put it ;)). Of course this is not the only point of what Apple wants, but it certainly is the biggest one.
