ELI5: How Apple can publicly claim iPhone 5 is the thinnest smartphone in the world?

In their keynote they had a slide dedicated to this point. A simple Google search will show that there is more than one phone thinner. iPhone 5 = 7.6mm; Huawei has one that's 6.7mm, and ZTE has one that's 6.2mm and Motorola Razr is stated at 7.1mm.
Is there any commission keeping companies accountable for these things or can everyone just lie?

American false advertising laws are incredibly lax. Only a competitor has any standing to complain about it; if a complaint *is* substantiated, they usually just have to run what's known as "corrective advertising". Let me tell you what that would look like:

iPhone 5. Thinner than most*. Better than all.

[in size 2 font:]*We mistakenly claimed that the iPhone 5 was the thinnest smartphone in the world. It is actually the thinnest smartphone in the United States.
