Russia Commemorates Steve Jobs with Giant iPhone in St. Petersburg

doesn't look like a high traffic area... meh

This will never stand the test of time like a normal statute or monument.

Does it have retina display?

It has NFC too.... whoops

kidding.

A symbol of the absolute core of capitalism. In Russia. A lot has changed in 20 years.

IP infringement lawsuit coming in 3....2....1...

In Soviet Russia, phone holds YOU!

Call me when they find one buried under the surface of the moon.

They just caught a Polish guy trying to put it into his pocket.

If only the real iPhone had a screen to bezel ratio like that...

Funny how countries Jobs probably never visited eulogize him the most.

RU should get a grip

A "death" grip?

also, they're gonna be super pissed when the next iPhone is released

Cheesy

This is beyond tacky!!! I bet Steve Jobs would have hated it!

A fake giant Iphone that's not even resembling an Iphone...more like an Iphone rip off (a Samsung?)
It does not match the environment with the old classy buildings all around. It looks like someone from a tech show set it up in the wrong place....cheesy!!!

This is stupid. What's the point? Shock value? I don't see them creating 6 foot lightbulbs for Edison, or 6 foot telephones for Graham Bell.

Note2 still bigger.

I can't believe no one has mentioned this yes.

It looks like a monolith...

certainly doesn't belong to Steve's famous "Invisa" line of iDevices.

Haha, they should have made the screen the normal size - It would look worlds better. With that screen it looks more like a $30 MP3 player than an iPhone.
