In a recent video, Jimmy Kimmel takes an iPhone 2G and tells people on the street that it's the new iPhone 6s. The iPhone 2G is the original iPhone released by Apple back in 2007.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s that Apple fans always go crazy for the new iPhone. But we have a feeling most people don’t really notice the design changes - they just love the new iPhone because it’s the new iPhone. So as an experiment, we dug an original iPhone from 2007 out of a drawer, handed it to people on the street, and told them it was Apple’s newly unveiled iPhone 6S to see what they’d say.

Take a look below at how people react to the device below...

@thedean of course this video was edited, nearly everything on TV and the Internet, social media etc are altered to show you what they want you to see, it's a digital veil.

....ahhh...the good 'ol days of jailbreaking with Spirit and BlackRa1n and BL3.9 and BL4.6...and Rock...anyone know what I'm talking about?

It is interesting how many iPhone users can be misled by these edited videos.

gamerscul9870 - September 15, 2015 at 10:56am

Unless we forget. They are in a populated area where they would know about new and old iPhone and have nonchalant reaction to the phones and wouldn't wait this long before looking at other iPhones or forget 2g existed. In other words, actors that don't sound serious and know how fake this is.

It simply means that even the oldest iPhone is still pretty advanced. I wonder if the first galaxy can be mistaken as the latest Galaxy. Lol!

iAmMe - September 14, 2015 at 4:15pm

or the first android. Hahaha

How many people they talk to reach these people?

TheDean - September 13, 2015 at 12:41am

This may even be edited. Perhaps 99% of the subjects knew it was the old iphone, and they only showed the 1% that didn't..

Who is this behind in technology. Like what are you doing with your life lol.

Crawford842 - September 12, 2015 at 8:16pm

There's no such thing as 2G. There's a 3G

AndroidSsie - September 12, 2015 at 8:53pm

You can find evidence of the iPhone 2G online; it was the original model.

Lenny6912 - September 14, 2015 at 9:31pm

2g is edge

The iDevice Pro - September 15, 2015 at 8:50am

Actually there's 2G (Edge), 3G, 4G (3G with HSPA ), and LTE. Next up...XLTE

The iDevice Pro - September 15, 2015 at 8:51am

It was supposed to be a plus sign after HSPA...oops

Kiddelton - September 12, 2015 at 7:12pm

Well you can tell they never really know about iPhone till now lol who could mistake the 2G wow must be a joke or paid off

Butterspider - September 12, 2015 at 7:02pm

He does this schtick every year. Boring....

Cris - September 12, 2015 at 6:15pm

Well by this video it's looks that Apple doesn't listen to their customers as much as they should making the phone thinner and thinner so I think our palm could be our phone one day hahahaha . But yeah I think the iPhone 6 is a good size iPhone and if it could be just a bit thicker I think will be less to slip and damage .

gamerscul9870 - September 12, 2015 at 7:05pm

Dont you think making a stronger lighter material to resist bending rings a bell?

gamerscul9870 - September 12, 2015 at 5:54pm

I bet they were paid to say it. There's no way they would think it would revert to something they knew about for years.

Basically talked to a bunch of tourists and people who just went along with it.
