And by that you mean the antenna's aren't as exposed/well placed as a user would wish. Antenna placement in cell phones is a high art, and when you consider a modern phone supports a huge number of frequencies and protocols in which it has to be efficient, well, it's an incredibly hard problem to solve. Motorola, for all their recent problems, likely understands this better than Apple, with some 2 basic phone models under their belts. Modern pcs have this problem too. I have an absurdly long range for the bluetooth on one of laptops, and absurdly short on the other. So there you go....

I don't know the design details of either phone, but it's also possible that the s/n sensitivity of the iphone receivers isn't as good as for the Razr. Just like some radios will tune in a weak station better than others, or some tvs will display a weaker signal more clearly than other tvs will, I suppose the same is true for cell phones. And blue-tooth hardware, as you mentioned.
