The Onion releases latest round of iPhone specs

by Ryan Block posted Jun 20th 2007 at 7:18PM

Crazy, we knew The Onion had some pretty reliable sources inside Apple, but who would have thought the Stevephone reproduces through asexual mitosis? And we still think $600 is a lot, but an iPhone hat clearly makes it a fantastic value.

Careful guys, you might have some foaming at the mouth iFanatic read this!

Of course they're probably counting their pennies to see if they have enough (after having bought their last overpriced but not as functional Apple Computer...

It will also reproduce through parthenogenesis, which means a baby iphone will already be developing inside the mother iphone when it comes out of the box.

That's amazing.

I'm not a huge fan of the iPhone, but I have to say my Macbook is the best thing since Jack Bauer...

That is freakin hilarious! Love the part about the hats-let's plop a fake iphone on top of the hat so for sure everyone will know that you are an owner of the ubiquitous (hey, a fancy word at at 12:15am-not bad!) iPhone.

Tee Hee;)

As unnecessary as the mac/apple fan bashing is, this entire news article is even less necessary.

Congratulations Engadget; you're a shining beacon of technology news comparable to modern news outlets like Fox News. Way to fail.

I will give Apple this, they have a great marketing department. Even if they can only get single digit market penetration in 99.9% of the products they have released, they have always tried to convince everyone they are the best at everything they do. If I was them I would ride the IPod success and try to emulate it until it no longer works too.

IPhone = Ipod with a phone on it. If you buy it for a PDA you are going to be horribly disappointed. If you want it for music and video it is a very nice, albeit overly expensive (another Apple trademark), device. Apple has failed with PDA's multiple times, a PDA with no tactile input is taking a step backwards (original PDA's were touchscreen only), and having no 3rd party software, no removable battery, no 3g, no push email, etc, means this device is something I would have expected to come out 5 years ago, with an added music/video capability that has been around since windows put media player on their pda's, which is basically 5 years ago.

Putting a pretty face on old technology, Apple.
