"iPhone only" means that it can run only on an iPhone, not that you
don't want it to run on an iPad.

If a company makes two separate versions of an app, one for the iPhone
and one for the iPad, it should reinvest in its engineering department
because Apple has made it easy to develop one version that runs
natively in each environment.  There are many apps that are designed
for the iPhone that run on the iPad because there aren't any iPad
versions for them, that are very suitable for the iPad.
