HD is both a resolution, and a statement about quality. As others have pointed out the iPhone has a lower than SD resolution display, and its video output (with apple’s cable) is limited to an SD NTSC or PAL signal.

I suspect that someone saw an iPhone playing high quality video to an HD display that was upscaling it and figured the iPhone was putting out HD.

If apple wants to offer HD content for the iPhone, it makes sense to "pre-shrink" the video before ever putting it on the phone.</p> <p>Sure the iPhone <em>can</em> play back HD content, but in practice actually doing so is silly. It makes more sense to re-size the video before putting it on the device. Syncing HD content would be a waste of time and space, since a resized version would look exactly the same.</p> It doesn’t mean anything.
