In the same way PSP is more powerful than the PS2, yes, iPhone is ahead -if slightly- of Wii.

Why? Is there any iPhone game with the effects and general good looks of, say... Super Mario Galaxy?

 

Let me correct my statement there. Obviously, the person who quoted this is a programmer, thus, has little to do with the GPUs of the respective systems. So basically, in his field, more RAM and a higher frequency CPU put the iPhone above the Wii. In that regard, he is right.

Iphone is essentially overclocked Dreamcast hardware.
Sega developed Dreamcast on a chip in 2005 for mobile devices and Iphone uses it.

iphone has nowhere near the power of Wii.

Programmers also work with the GPU, but regarding the CPU according to wikipedia the Wii's has a higher clock rate (not to mention, probably many more computation units).

Actually quite a fair comparison too considering both games would reflect initial efforts on the platforms.
