FOX 5 NY Butchers the iPhone 5's Features

[Menel]

Mods Close this thread. It's quickly turning into a bash a news channel thread.

Turning? isn't that what it started as?

 

[mhb182]

Considering this is the only video showing this on the internet and that there's no articles on it, I agree.

Fake.

There's nothing on it because it aired less then an hour ago. It's not fake.

if you posted the vid yourself...and looking at the upload name and your name..im going to have to think you did..
im starting to actually believe it..


and WOW..incredible that a news channel would think that video was actually the new iPhone



im sorry..but if this is real..then the news channel does deserve its own bashing thread...this is hilarious

Thanks I did. Lol I thought it'd be funny to share.

Looks like a true story actually. I guess it was hard to believe they did that bad.

Just did a twitter search. Fox makes me cringe.

EDIT:

9 to 5 mac reporting...

Well, I'd be feeling really stupid if I called this video fake only to learn it is real after all.

Just sayin.

 

[i-John]

Is this really that surprising? I mean, it is Fox News after all.

Fox News and the Fox TV channel are not the same thing, not even close.
It's like saying NBC and MSNBC are the same.

Two completely different companies under the same parent. Local affiliates are not even Fox. They are companies that are affiliated with the parent company to show Fox content under their name.

 

[dccorona]

somehow, I'm still more shocked that people are actually in line already.

How are all these unemployed people paying their cellphone bills?

 

[penajmz]

Its Fox.

 

[Technarchy]

Fox News NY reports that the iPhone 5 has a laser keyboard :roll eyes:

They do a great job reporting don't they!

Here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l1VXvwHZD0

That's Fox 5 news, not the Fox News Channel.

Huge difference.

that "iPhone" they keep showing in the video doesnt even look like an iPhone, it looks more like an iPod touch

[greytmom]

That is hilarious!

 

[AAPLinc]

I figured someone would say that.

It's the local affiliate. For the most part, regardless of the network, local news affiliates leave much to be desired.

Anyway, as I recall a certain president of ours was befuddled when someone handed him an iPhone to make a call because he still uses a BlackBerry and didn't know how to use an iPhone.

Let's just keep phones separate from politics.

Someone's a devout Republican. And If I'm not mistaken you just brought up politics and then asked not to talk about politics? Typical Republican.

Video is a fake... Fox News NY? The logo is all wrong and the articles on the site about the iPhone are spot on:

http://www.myfoxny.com/
http://www.myfoxny.com/story/19562755/iphone5-orders-top-2m-in-24-hours

I've lived in NY for over 20 years, the logo presented in that video hasn't been used in about 2 years.

Also take a close look at the mic they're using, now look at my link below from a TSA article published today. The blue color scheme is different which they switched when they redid the site and re-named everything myfoxny (still channel 5).

Nice investigation skills

It's Fox News... Though usually they are a little better regarding non political stories.

Well, it's not fake. There were tons of people on twitter about it on TV, many news channels reporting in on them, and multiple YouTube videos. I thought it was fake at first too.

 

[mainomega]

Fak. I think ordered the wrong ip5. Mine dont look so thin or have holographic tech.

 

[F123D]

Is this real life?

 

[TheBuffather]

For what it's worth, this is a local Fox station, rather than Fox News.

 

[Jspring86]

These are some amazing features, personally surprised Apple didn't sell more than 2 million in the first 24 hours with the holographic keyboard. Lots of people been wanting that for awhile now.

 

[paulink]

My question is, where the hell did they get these videos from? Amusing.

 

[vastoholic]

I honestly just hate the dude that's first in line. "well the iPhone 5 is most amazing.....best apple product ever."

I guess he hasn't owned many other products besides iDevices has he.
