Jimmy Kimmel previews the IP5 for random people

[styrafoam]

Actually he just lets them see a 4s and tells them its the 5

The lesson here is: don't trust Jimmy Kimmel?

Saw this yesterday. Brilliant.

It is brilliant.

I have to say, I dont get all the hate for the IP5. I'm an Android fan, and will never buy an iPhone, but I dont see how the iPhone 5 is a "bad" device, or a "bad" upgrade from the 4S.

I think the video does a good job of illustrating how susceptible people are to suggestion. Pretty good, especially when the guy mentions his current phone is a 4S.

wow... no wonder people make so much money off marketing. it really works.....

Its amazing anything fails these days -- people are so stupid they literally don't know what they are using or have used.

Some company should come out with the Iphlone 6.

Like the poster said above, its more about the power of suggestion. Also, since these people are being interviewed for TV they want to say exactly what they think they should say so they can be on TV.

That being said, there are really people this dumb out there.

It's a good upgrade from the iPhone 4, a bleh upgrade from the iPhone 4S. I think everyone was hoping for an iPhone 3GS -> iPhone 4 upgrade where the features and design of the 4 was so compelling, there was absolutely no reason to stay with the 3GS. I guess you can only pull the Retina trick out your hat once.

It's not a bad upgrade from 4S, 5 is pretty good compared to other iPhones, but it's a pretty mediocre sidegrade (if even that) for most higher end Android phones released in the past year.

Pretty funny video. When they do say its lighter though it probably is true (in comparison to their phones) since everyone of them have cases on their phones.

I'm the same way. My biggest complaint about the iPhone (other than some of its insane owners) was the too-small screen, but now the 5 finally brings that up to date. The aspect ratio is a bit different, but I'll have to actually use one before I judge it. I think I'd probably like it- not to own (I still don't care much for iOS on a phone) but as a device.

Yup and the fake iphone5 also didn't have 1000 shitty apps clogging it up.

The 4 inch screen is about as big as they could go without making the phone wider or the bezels smaller and that wasn't likely. A 4 inch screen should help offset some of the move to Android, but it isn't 4.3 inches, 4.65 inches and it certainly isn't 5.5 inches so the market for larger screens will remain with Android.
