Russia Commemorates Steve Jobs with Giant iPhone in St. Petersburg

[iAco]

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

 

[Compile 'em all]

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

 

[JRSAHLBERG]

Does it have retina display?

 

[samcraig]

Nothing says Steve Jobs quite like QR codes.

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...

 

[Crosbie]

In Soviet Russia, phone holds YOU!

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

 

[Thunderhawks]

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

 

[A Hebrew]

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

 

[PracticalMac]

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

Didn't Jobs give the Russian president an early production iPhone 4?

 

[GenesisST]

Gerard Depardieu will eat it...

 

[achtung!]

terrible execution. that doesn't look like any apple product.
but hey, nice try!

 

[Born Again]

I don't think Steve would have liked this...

It's not done very well - agreed

 

[enkadrummer88]

RU should get a grip

A "death" grip?

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

 

[EJ1331]

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.

 

[sulpfiction]

Note2 still bigger.

 

[cskroeze]

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

It looks like a monolith...

 

[cxny]

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

Привет!

Гей, как дела? Ты на русском говоришь? Откуда Ты?

i bet it already smells like vodka.

привет...привет...привет

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.
