00:00:00.063 --> 00:00:07.174
Well, Apple isn't confirming it, but there's buzz that the tech giant will launch the next generation of its iPhone on Wednesday. 

2
00:00:07.241 --> 00:00:13.802
And then again, there is always buzz about Apple, even in those rare moments when it's not unveiling something new. 

3
00:00:14.206 --> 00:00:20.097
Dan Simon shows us some lighthearted looks at the products we just can't seem to live without.

4
00:00:23.669 --> 00:00:33.169
Slick product shots set to light, airy music. Nimble fingers navigate with ease, framed against a simple, white backdrop. 

5
00:00:35.171 --> 00:00:41.054
It's Apple's signature style for some of its most famous commercials, and one that's been ripe for parody.

6
00:00:41.157 --> 00:00:47.944
With the Orabrush 2, we've made advances in both form and function that are so significant to tongue cleaning.

7
00:00:48.256 --> 00:00:53.012
We have a great product that's revolutionized the world. So what? 

8
00:00:53.258 --> 00:00:58.003
Are we going to sit around in front of a white screen in turtlenecks, bragging about it all day?

9
00:00:58.255 --> 00:01:01.622
That's the idea, and with the debut of iPhone 5, 

10
00:01:01.771 --> 00:01:06.446
the spoofs keep coming, like this one by Web video creator Adam Sacks.

11
00:01:06.639 --> 00:01:10.684
Before designing the iPhone 5, we studied how customers use their iPhones. 

12
00:01:10.765 --> 00:01:18.990
People only use iPhones to take photos of their food. They're sad and alone, so they use pictures of food to create the illusion of a fulfilling life.

13
00:01:19.048 --> 00:01:27.749
Back to the basics, the narrator promises, unveiling the newest iPhone, a clunky digital camera so users can take all of the food pictures they want. 

14
00:01:28.121 --> 00:01:31.608
Siri is all-new, too, suggesting photo captions.

15
00:01:32.535 --> 00:01:35.587
Chickpea salad. Nom nom nom. I am happy.

16
00:01:35.905 --> 00:01:39.713
Another parody video offers a revolutionary redesign.

17
00:01:39.963 --> 00:01:49.071
We've introduced an amazing new feature. It's invisible! Our new invisible technology opens up a world of possibilities.

18
00:01:51.036 --> 00:01:55.212
But one spoof titled "iPhone 5 Concept Features" doesn't poke fun. 

19
00:01:55.793 --> 00:02:05.934
Rather, it shows off some too-good-to-be-true technology, like this ultra-thin design, a laser projection virtual keyboard and even a holographic display. 

20
00:02:06.683 --> 00:02:13.934
The technology behind its products is serious business for Apple, like its $1 billion courtroom victory against Samsung.

21
00:02:14.231 --> 00:02:17.214
It's like a cheetah or a laser beam.

22
00:02:17.369 --> 00:02:22.226
But when it comes to parody, it seems imitation is still a form of flattery.

23
00:02:22.330 --> 00:02:26.786
This product is so revolutionary that you'll never know how you lived without it.
