The Second City Dismantles iPhone 6 Rumor Mania

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Aug 27, 2014 7:00PM

At this point in the iPhone's existence, Apple doesn't need Zooey Deschanel asking stupid questions to Siri to sell the product's sizzle. All they need to do is either comment or not comment on the myriad of rumors regarding when the next model is set to launch on a consumer base ready to swallow it whole, full of greed and the need to be part of The Next Big Thing. Case in point: I'm still rocking an iPhone 4S with a recently replaced battery. I figured there was no need to upgrade to an iPhone 5 or 5S when the iPhone 6 is set to debut sometime soon.

It is debuting soon, right?

This video from The Second City brilliantly skewers iPhone 6 mania and our culture's obsession with needing the latest technology. Right. Now! There's always a "Doldo411" among us, ready to make a name, if not an ass, of himself.
