This seems like an odd use of 'unprecedented'. It's in the same category as "I made an unprecedented dietary decision today and decided to drink chamomile tea instead of mint". Yes, it might be unprecedented because I've never done that before, but it's also super boring. Who cares? So they tried to put too much graphics power in the iPhone and it didn't work. And it's not exactly a setback either. So they had to have a slightly less powerful phone. Whatever.
Sometimes these article titles are ridiculous and I'm quite tired of this hyperbole, especially in tech. What about "iPhone engineers tried a powerful GPU but had to use a less powerful one".
