“Aside from this newest iPhone, we’re introducing a second product line. We’re returning back to the glory days of flip-phones.”

“Sometimes you need to redial someone quickly. We’ve invented something we’re calling the NewtonDial button.”
“Push-to-talk is dead. We call this feature Insta-Apple-Voice-Your-Friends.”
“The Verizon version is called the Apple iPhone Fliptino MaXx 4G LTE by Verizon, Inc. The Sprint version is called the Apple iPhone Fliptino 4G ChaRge LTE by Sprint. The AT&T version is called the 4G LTE iPhone FlipTino Sandpiper by Apple.”

“Now, let’s talk about the iPhone. Sorry to fake you out with the ‘5’ shadow on the event invitation. We’re calling our newest version the iPhone 4GS. Psych. It’s the iPhone Galaxi S V. Psych. Too soon? Settle down, we’re calling it the iPhone 5. Clap now.”
“Sold exclusively at JC Penny, the Tim Cook Signature Edition comes with a gorgeous champagne finish.”
“So that’s the iPhone 5. BAM!!!”
