Late night television has poked fun at the gadget wars before, but the frenzy of the iPhone 5 launch has opened up a number of new comedic opportunities.

TeamCoco -- the website behind Conan O'Brien's late night show -- has posted an article poking fun at the iPhone hysteria by detailing "Everything You Need To Know About The New iPhone 5"
- The new iPhone is 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the 4S, making it the first smartphone with specs one can measure in Triscuits.

- Apes that touch the glowing new mini-monolith are suddenly able to turn basic tools into weapons.

- Siri has been upgraded; the "intelligent personal assistant" will tell you sports scores, and automatically place bets with your bookie.

- Price: $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB, $399 for 64GB with two year contract signed in bone marrow.

In addition to Conan's post, Jimmy Kimmel's team took the 'iPhone 5' out on the street yesterday to get first impressions from the general public -- the obvious problem, however, is that the iPhone 5 isn't actually out yet. Instead, they took the iPhone 4S and told folks it was the new 5:

Some people and Apple products..."Hey, this is the new iProduct, what do you think?" "Oh, it's way better than the old crappy one!"
 
they should make tim cook's face the default background on all future apple products.:)
 
Wow... I thought iSheep weren't real. I always thought that was just a name that fandroids gave educated apple fans that love their products. These guys are just dumb. Give apple fans a bad rep.
 
Isn't this an AT&T iPhone 4?

hahahahahahahaha lol. But I know many people who would be the same, unfortunately some people who are not technology minded believe everything you tell them.
 
I've never been to the USA but these guys have gotta be paid. Most of them had a 4 / 4S so they would be instantly able to tell that it looks the same
 
Hahahahahahahahhahah

typical iphone customers.

Apple knows this.

Hahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaahhahahahah
 
LOL That is how Apple made their billions. Disappointing to see so many stupid people. :eek:

I'd like to know how many people they filtered out of the video for going "umm no this is the same iPhone jackass" notice they only show the same 4-5 people over and over.

Exactly my thoughts, it seems like they just chose small clips of the stupidest people to include in the video. It was only done for comic effect so it doesn't really matter, of course, but it's hardly a realistic view of most consumers.
 
Some people are plain stupid, they want to call every smartphone iPhone and every tablet iPad. I heard people complaining about their apps and they blame Apple or their iOS devices for this. But the video is still funny!

That's because the iPhone/iPod/iPad have become the poster children for all these devices.

Mist iDevice users are not tech savvy so to them the apps do come from Apple.

Nothing stupid about it. :rolleyes:
 
I'm not sure how this is funny considering if you take the logo off most of the Android phone most people won't even able to tell who the actual makers are, let alone the name of the phone. At least they can recognize the iPhone. Frankly with samsung and HTC coming out with 10+ phone a year, and giving them random names the joke should be on them.

It's not hate, it's just stating fact. I'm all for a good laugh and all but this is a bad joke. Like some of the previous post have mentioned, they probably asked tons of people and only selected the few that has no idea what's going on. I'm simply not a big fan of somebody showing half of the story and trying to poke fun of the fact.
