Ok, so Apple mockups seem to surface every other week or so, and while some renditions are utterly believable, there are a few that take the cake when it comes to eliciting a grin. The latest iPhone forgery (vid after the break) is brought to us courtesy of an (unsurprisingly) anonymous individual and YouTube, where an Apple Remote is apparently (and magically, no less) transformed into a cellphone. Aside from the awfully rendered fonts, "2D" appearance, and out-of-sync "clicks," we highly doubt Apple would create a mobile based on a Front Row controller. Regardless, we thank the dear creator for giving us such a hearty laugh, but this unfortunately won't quite make the cut for FCC Fridays.[Via TUAW]
Lol, you can see the piece of tape he used as a guide to chop that screen in.
haha, wow
thats pretty good editing
Oh dear...
Did you all just feel you hadn't done an iPhone post in awhile?
Crappy corner pin tracking job and bad interface animation timing.
Hahaha, that's hilarious. Nicely done.
So it's gonna have a holographic screen then? That's convenient. :)
I doubt that was meant to be something designed to fool people as opposed to just playing around with editing. I think its a pretty cool idea. It'd be sweet to see that. Yeah it could be cleaner but again not meant at fooling people. Probably.
Good job.
Is it me or did you hear his mom yelling down the stairs that dinner is ready?
Nice try kiddo! Enjoy your meatloaf!
that wa sshit.
I agree with Austin.
Pretty harsh criticism for something that could have been a student project, entertainment or time-kill.
The poster acts like the YouTube contributor works for Apple or is a major technology developer.
hahahaha sweet.
slow newsday, huh?
And the biggest fake of the year award goes to.
And what would happen to your holographic screen in your pocket?
"And what would happen to your holographic screen in your pocket?"
I wouldn't put it in my pocket if I were you. You might scratch it.
Ahh, thanks, I needed a laugh.
Oh, yes! That's exactly what I need. Where do I ever get such a fine POS
Man, they get nasty over there at youtube comments section. Just because it's not flawless people insult the guy for trying. Pathetic times we live in when someone has to insult someone for something that does not affect them.
kevlar, it's a mockup of an apple product. of course the screen is gonna be easily scratched.
I, for one, welcome our fake iPhone creating, still living with mom at age 30, overlords.
the mock up isn't the best but the idea of using a holographic screen, in my mind, is sweeet.
Sweet jesus why......
i especially like the way you get that little plasticy tab at the start, then the visual screen pops up, BIGGER than the physical size.
Wonder what processor speed its got? core duo 3Ghz?
Wifi internets?
