Proves that Apple iPhones, like all Apple products, are made for technically challenged consumers. Nothing but posers pretending to understand technology!

Not unexpected. I’d respond similarly if they asked me about automobiles or other tech I didn’t obsess about.

Actually, unless the phones are side by side lots of people are likely to be fooled. Try looking for YouTube videos about change blindness for example.

Processor, memory, and screen of the iPhone are all Samsung manufactured. And just saying if the “average” is 100, that does not mean that half the population is below 100. If the median was 100 then that would be true.

There was bound to be people that knew it wasn’t the iPhone 5. But they wouldn’t have aired those people in the package, as it would take away the credibility of the gag, which was a pretty sad gag at that!

I wonder how many people it took before they found the first gullible person. There were probably so many people that knew.

That’s kind of what I was thinking. That the old one is still so far ahead of the rest that people still rave about it.

Maybe these people need to change cell carriers if they are noticing that much speed difference.

How many people did they go through to find the 5 or 6 that proved their point.

And the same could be asked about this years BMW 3 vs last years BMW 3. But they still sell a boatload

I like your twist on this =D

These poor people wouldn’t have looked at all stupid if this video had been made last year when 4S came out, right? A lot of iPhone owners out there probably had no idea that the form factor was going to visibly change this time around or that there would be no GoogleMaps any more etc…

I guess that’s why the phone feels heavier to him. He needs to juice up.

Don’t forget the corn husker feature and the cake server feature too.

The average IQ is 100. Which means that half the population is below 100. What’s it like on that end having a hard time truly understanding most things in life but somehow convincing yourself you’re knowledgeable?

Who’s Jimmy Kimmel? Sounds like a name for a breakfast food.

What it actually shows, is how good the old iPhone is. That people can accept it as a new model, is great.

The anti apple prejudice is in full force. With every iPhone release..they become even more irrational, desperate, and obviously mad. Stockholm syndrome is ripe with the fandroids.

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the iPhone have Samsung parts on the inside? So basically what you’re saying is the iPhone is mad of carp on the inside.

and they hardly walk out with a camera, grab 5 random people and are done with the segment in 3 minutes. they probably struck out with a bunch of people just to get those 5-6 they showed.

and those he did show.. probably figured it out at some point as well.

That’s not even a 4S. It’s a 4. You can tell by the frame gap on the top of the phone.

Average people are technologically gullible

Add to that a fear of embarrassment. They don’t know. They know they don’t know. So they go with the show at hand and lie in order to save face…. OOPS.

Scary indeed.

But WE’D NOTICE!

By: Derek Currie

Derek Currie — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 22:39:19 +0000

Well, it is a bit scary to find people who claim to have the 4S not recognizing another 4S in their hands. No hypnosis or propagandization required.

Are you SURE they’re members of my species? This isn’t just some joke on me while I’m actually being held in an alien mind torture lab? Is this where sucker PoliTards come from?

Friends don’t let friend buy samdung made phones.

Average people are technologically gullible and will believe any BS told to them by someone who appears to be knowledgable. That’s probably why some average people end up with a Samdung phone.
