Next Year’s iPhone Insanely Great - Yours, Not So Much

Apple products like the iPod, and now the iPhone, are so pervasive in our culture that even the satire-based The Onion can't resist taking them on. The Onion reports in its special tongue-in-cheek way that Apple is already working "around-the-clock" to make a better and cooler version of the iPhone to replace the still unreleased first model.

The Onion quotes Mr. Jobs as saying "We looked at [the iPhone's] innovative user interface, the paradigm-shifting voicemail, the best-in-class mobile browser, and we realized we could make all that seem ridiculously outdated by the time the product becomes available to customers in June."

Like all good satire, the article does have a flair of truth to it: In many cases the innovation that Apple brings to its products mean that a major update makes the replaced model seem outdated and limited in comparison.

TMO planned on spending some time outside our central tower getting some "man on the street" reactions to Apple's products, but it was kind of cold and snowy, so we decided to stay inside instead.
