Conan and his team has posted a video of their intern who was sent to pick up the iPhone 5 for the preview . On his way back , guys come out of a van with Samsung logo and Kidnap the guy bringing the iPhone 5 , according to video .

So why was Conan’s iPhone 5 stolen by Samsung? Well, the Android maker may have been interested in the new iPhone’s specs and features, at least those presented by Conan’s Team Coco. Here’s what Samsung may be interested in finding out more details about when looking at the device:


  • During the iPhone 5 unveiling in San Francisco, a gentle hush descended across the Earth. Dogs and cats snuggled, doves wept with joy, and mortal enemies everywhere briefly set aside their differences and commenced feverishly swapping spit.
  • The new iPhone is 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the 4S, making it the first smartphone with specs one can measure in Triscuits.
  • Apes that touch the glowing new mini-monolith are suddenly able to turn basic tools into weapons.
  • You will still probably have to stand in line for four hours outside an Apple Store next to a lumberjack who just discovered dub-step and two bloggers wearing Atticus Finch glasses narrating their Tumblrs to each other.
  • The new iPhone 5 magically induces people with the iPhone 4S to bite the insides of their cheeks until they tasted blood.
  • Siri has been upgraded; the “intelligent personal assistant” will tell you sports scores, and automatically place bets with your bookie.
  • The iPhone 5′s 8MP camera is slimmer than before, and can make that can of Beefaroni look like Mario Batali is your personal chef.
  • The elongated display is newly optimized for those with freakishly nimble asparagus fingers.
  • Apple’s new battery promises 225 hours of standby and is powered by the tears of Chinese laborers.
  • The iPhone 5 is made out of a nanomorph mimetic poly-alloy, which means if you smash it against your desk in a frothing rage, it will reduce itself to a pool of liquid metal, then quietly reform back to its prior shape.
  • The iPhone 5 has 4G-LTE network connectivity, so you’ll be able to download alt-folk dirges off of iTunes nanoseconds before they’re cool.
  • The iPhone 5 will sprout spider legs and use digestive acids to liquify any Samsung Galaxy 3′s in the vicinity.
  • Price: 199.99 for 16GB, $299.99 for 32GB, $399.99 for 64GB with two year contract signed in bone marrow.
Yes, this all of the above, including video and the weird iPhone 5 characteristics, is parody and should be treated accordingly. And no, Samsung didn’t steal any iPhone 5. They have enough cash to buy one when it comes out next week and explore it themselves.

Dude, how can you forget the Panorama sweep function, I mean it will change your life (in the way a mosquito bite does).

How can you forget that they have all this powered by a single-core processor and still has a standby time lesser than dual-core Androids.

It has a built-in-speaker.

Suddenly I feel like I should have waited for this and bought this on my birthday, life is incomplete. Les Miserables.

Dunno, details are sketchy at best although Anand Lal Shimpi has stated that this is Apple's inhouse design, we have no clue whether it is a dual-core OR single-core.

Here is the page -- AnandTech - The iPhone 5's A6 SoC: Not A15 or A9, a Custom Apple Core Instead.

Sorry if I am ruffling feathers with inept statements but even if it is dual-core it has a sub-par standby time, greater talk-time. Cheerio!

I am not sure how relevant this is, but from what I have heard from my friend in the US (who is currently using S3 on LTE) LTE sucks battery big-time; even on standby. According to him, if the phone gives 8 hours of talk-time on LTE, it will be a big miracle in itself.

Anyway, the joke was lame.

Any proof, I mean more than stating that the Apple A6 is an in-house development. If we can conclusively pin it as a dual-core I am fine with apologizing and jumping on the gun.

Also, it is not a joke it is the truth that hurts. I think this iPhone (the v5 if you please) is the most depressing edition launched in an otherwise competitive lineup.

If Wi-Fi (mostly receiving the signal) can drink battery like crazy here I will not be surprised that a more powerful form of wireless technology drinks more juice. Even then the standard talk-time and standby time is pretty depressing, compared to a Sony Xperia Sola / Go / U; phones which retail at half the price of the iPhone 5 and have a lesser battery capacity if I am not mistaken.

See, what I'm trying to say is that we don't have concrete figures in hand. That will only happen after sites review it. But, according to him S3 barely manage around 5-8 hours on LTE with basic usage (He has an iPhone 4S and an S3 and many of his friends have S3s). There is no option to toggle LTE off in S3 as of now and he is quite pissed since the battery drains by 15-20 percent; during his commute to office.

To be fair, I think we should wait for a proper review before jumping to any conclusions. It may be that I am completely mistaken myself. :)

Well, I am in US on Verizon using the S3 and I would like to say that what your friend claims is not the case. On complete stock touchwiz rom my battery lasts for 16 hours with 3 hours of screen on time and 2 hours of on call time. Data and wifi on all the time. On custom roms with custom kernels people tend to go even beyond 24 hours on basic usage. And you can definitely toggle data mode. Now, after screen, radio is the second most taxing factor on your battery. If I run on wifi all day when I am at home, without data enabled, my battery runs for a couple of hours longer. 3G radio mode apparently is the most draining and if your friend lives in an area with little or no reception, he is going to have a very bad battery life owing to the constant use of radio searching for reception. You can visit xdadevelopers and check out people even going beyond 1.5 days (custom rom and kernels though :P). I am in no way trying to say that your friend is lying. So please don't get it wrong. I hope this helps clear some doubts. :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that mine runs for 17 hours with moderate usage on a custom rom and kernel and overclocked to 1.9ghz :yahoo:
