Taiwanese video reenactment of Steve Jobs’ iPhone 4 debacle with Star Wars theme
File this under Phenomenal.
It’s a Taiwanese News CG Reenactment that tells the story of Steve Jobs and the iPhone 4, from the Gizmodo incident all the way through the All-Antennas-are-a-Problem-Here’s-an-Antenna-Cover press conference.
Don’t miss these priceless moments:
- Steve Jobs and Bill Gates face off in a Star Wars light saber battle spurred on by the the subtitle “Apple makes even more money than Microsoft.”
- Appearance by Special Gizmodo Guest Star Jason Chen, who kicked off the now legendary iPhone 4 fiaso by paying $5,000 in cash to buy an early iPhone 4 inadvertently left at a bar by an Apple employee.
- Darth Jobs laughing with evil gusto under the subtitle “Consumers hate being locked into AT&T’s crappy network.”
- A recap of the Apple press conference “somewhere over Cupertino, California.”
This one’s even better than their Taiwanese News CG Reenactment of the Tiger Woods saga.

My favorite part was when Jobs chopped the fingers off the customer. Also, Jason Chen’s wicked ’stache.
I also love the line about Steve Jobs leading the investigation into Jason Chen’s house, “breaking personal human rights” and making Chen hover in mid-air.
And, of course, Jobs is wearing his black turtleneck. Wardrobe win.

The laugh is the best part! What’s Mandarin for “muahahahaha”?
I loved the laser slicing off the fingers best as well.
And I confess I am feeling pretty redeemed by the Apple backlash. There’s more than just the antenna to ridicule. The touch screen is very hard to use; the search function is primitive; and the calendar is clunky. I’m waiting to hear more complaints about some of those issues now that the bloom is off the rose.
And I think this also means that you should date Schmidt.
This video creates the danger that iPhone fanatics will remove those fingertips themselves in devotion to their product….
I think this kind of emergent resentment of Apple is inevitable whenever Underdog becomes Overlord. What would Polly do, jump to Schmidt or stick with Steve?
(Remember: were it not for Steve, computers would still be beige).
You’re right, Jeff. With success comes the inevitable resentment and targeting – for Apple, Google and Facebook. Twitter will be there soon as well.
I think the cycle is this:
1. Underdog
2. Overlord
3. Battered and Criticized Overlord
4. Underdog 2.0
I think the beaten-up period puts the overlord back in the role of underdog. Polly might stick with Steve Jobs in that scenario.
