Russia Commemorates Steve Jobs with Giant iPhone in St. Petersburg - Page 2

Doctor Q · Jan 10, 2013, 02:43 PM

It would be ironic if people left personal messages stuck to the high-tech-looking sculpture using low-tech Post-It notes.

Great gesture, poor execution.

Bubba Satori · Jan 10, 2013, 02:47 PM

I bet it already smells like vodka.

Ok can someone explain to me what Russia or St Petersburg has to do with Steve Jobs at all?

The monument is shocking... either do it right or not at all. The Site is rubbish too.

I can only asume that they didn't want to incur the wrath of apple so they designed it to look, well, wrong...

Alternatively they could have probably approached apple and got one of the giant one from an apple store and they would have helped design the presentation which... also looks shocking!

It's a blatent publicity thing by the university.

I have nothing against Russia here... but what's the point!?

samcraig · Jan 10, 2013, 02:50 PM

Just one question...

Will Apple Maps show this location correctly?

Yujenisis · Jan 10, 2013, 02:50 PM

Looks like a (cheap) knock off Apple product.

Was this deliberate or just the perfectly functioning Russian bureaucracy at work?

They'd probably get sued if it did.

SAMSUNG product developers already visited took pictures and made over 200 drawings.

Next: Galaxy S XXXL

As screwed up at that iPhone is, its a great representation of Jobs in life, relationships, and business. I would have added a knife in the back of the iPhone to truly capture Jobs but to each his own I guess...

Can the iPhone even read QR codes natively?

Nothing says Steve Jobs quite like QR codes.

hamkor04 · Jan 10, 2013, 03:24 PM

BlueGummiBear · Jan 10, 2013, 03:25 PM

It's okay, didn't you hear?: Next years one will be thinner, lighter and have a larger screen (in both directions!)
