Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel pulled a hilarious prank on unsuspecting iPhone users in Hollywood, convincing them their phones were significantly faster and had improved cameras. He orchestrated the stunt by having actors pose as Apple employees who 'upgraded' their iPhones in a believable fashion.
series last Friday caught the attention of late-night hosts in the U.S. ABC's Jimmy Kimmel , who traditionally does a funny bit about the latest iPhone launch, did it again with a seriously funny bit that took place on the streets of Hollywood, California. Here's the setup. A"reporter" stops iPhone users and asks them if they would be interested in having the information on their device switched over to thewould know right off the bat that this is a hoax.
So even though these iPhone users are getting back their own phone, they rave about the better screen, and how much faster the device is."This is processing so much quicker than my phone," says one iPhone owner. The joke is on him because it is his iPhone that he is scrolling through. Another person, when prompted to check out the enhanced images in the Photos app, raved over the improvement even though she was actually browsing through the Photos app on her phone.
One gentleman who was fooled by the gag revealed that he is a sales expert for Apple Southcoast Plaza which is an Apple Store in Costa Mesa, California. If this proves anything, it is that the use of benchmark tests is more important than you would think since our minds can be tricked into believing our devices are running faster than they are.
