I’ve never tried programming anything. But the brute fact that I have an iPhone which works shows that an operating system assembled by teams of programmers and consisting of 12 million lines of code isn’t the insurmountable obstacle you think it is.

Especially when it's done over several decades.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

What does "brute fact" mean? "Brutus" in Latin means "slightly overweight", it was the nickname of the guy who killed Cesar, but I guess that has nothing to do with here.

^In philosophy, a brute fact is one that cannot be explained in terms of more fundamental principles.
In casual conversation, a brute fact is one that is so obviously true that to deny it would be intellectually perverse.

So, how is the claim that you have an iPhone a brute fact?

Use a cloud service like BrowserStack to help you test on an iPhone device. I'm sure they have a free trial or something like that.
