As a generally happy Apple customer, I bought two 2G iPhones on the first day they hit the market (one for myself and one for my romantic partner at the time). When the 3G came out, I bought that model too.

The first iPhone captivated the world because the interface was so well done, so snappy, so interactive; it was like nothing before it. Of course it was, it was an Apple product. That, right there, is why I buy Apple products. And I didn't even mind that it was missing "copy and paste," MMS, ringtones, etc — because I knew Apple would eventually get to these through software updates. And eventually they did. Unfortunately they kept coming out with new phones. With faster processors. And they wrote all their software updates for these phones, with little attention to deprecated models. I don't really use third party software on my phones, I honestly don't even use ringtones. I just use my phone for SMS, web, maps, and occasionally as an actual phone, so the 3G model was more than I ever needed.

Except over time, it's fulfilled my needs less and less. And it's not because my needs have grown. It's not because I've installed a bunch of laggy software. It's because Apple's firmware has become bloated, with respect to the processing power of the 3G iPhone. I just installed iOS 4 two weeks ago, and at this point, I'd be happy to roll back to the first firmware I ever had, just to have that original speed again; forget about the copy and paste, I don't need it that badly.

So, tongue firmly in cheek, I decided to compare my phone to the first iPhone commercial that Apple ran. That commercial lasted twenty-eight seconds. How long will my phone take for the same tasks?

Legal/DMCA disclaimer:

For the record, I believe this video to be a parody, and to be covered by "Fair Use." My reasons for this are manifold. This video is for non-commercial and educational purposes. Of the original copyrighted works, the tv commercial itself has no monetary resale value (the commercial is not a product offered for public sale), and my parody video should have no negative impact on the sale of Orba Squara's music (they created the music track in the background of the Apple commercial). Lastly, my video is obviously satirical in nature, and can only be perceived as commenting on the original video which it parodies.

  • @mostwanted625 TRUE STORY MY OLD IPHONE 3GS ON IOS 5 IS SUPER FAST :)

  • IPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1 works good (remember that is Made to run iOS 2), but the 3GS have the best long support right now (iOS 3 to 5)

  • @kirbeast46 my 2g dosent lag :D

  • @the3rdnumber Worse*

  • you think that lag is bad, i have the motorolla backflip and it sucks big bob cock

  • That's so funny! The exact thing happens on my iPod touch 2g the music takes forever to load and lags so much!

  • @twbradshaw

    If what apple products are garbage, the other ones are pieces of horse shit on the road, collected and sold with android OS written on them. Apple makes the best products, the sales r showing what product people relly prefer... Seriously, ur just a hater.

  • @justinholoman

    LOL Did u ever try an other than apple brand phone as old as 3G?? They r even worst. just buy the new one... The hitechs r always going better so its normal that the 3g is bad now, Its now a old phone. Seriously, i didnt find another brand that has that much quality as apple. I personnaly (who dont work for apple) discovered apple when i first bough my itouch 2g, and till now i never bough another brands phone. And i wont soon (if apples maintains its quality).

  • Omg, I'm crying here!! Lol!!

  • lol, I'm here from an iPhone official commercial.

  • Andriod ftw

  • haha I'm glad i am not the only person out there with this problem. I will never buy a apple product again. I'v been force to downgrade my phone and now i can't even run apps like facebook or skype. Apple can't expect people to buy newer Iphones fuck you apple for abandoning 3g users and making our phones shit.

  • FTW !!  #1 parody besides all the other junks parody

  • It is TRUEEEE APPLE WATCH THIS ONE and DO SOMETHING or many back! hate iPhone

  • epic ending :D

  • @denchiosa 3gs and 4 runs faster than ios4 on ios 5 and 4.0 was the only version a 3g runs like this

  • hahahaha!! just like my friends! kinda feel bad because my 3gs is still great on ios 5 :L

  • Lol

  • @gmaster45612374 well, I don't see anything dull with iOS 4.1, but iOS 4.0 sure sucks my ass.

  • Sad thing is, my iPhone 3G does the EXACT same lags.. I don't see this as a parody, I see this as an actual commercial for iPhone 3G running on iOS 4

  • learned from my previous mistakes. After my first updates on my iphone 3g consistently got slower now that i have iphone 4 (beacuse the other one broke) I havent updated it even once and it happens to be just as fast as when i first got it.

    someone i know updated theirs and their battery drains twice as fast as mine

  • I'm rocking iPhone 4s :p right now
