As soon as the iPhone 5 was announced with its tall screen, we all know what jokes were coming. But that doesn't mean they aren't funny ? and when you throw a certain Mars rover celebrity into the mix, it's a guaranteed hit.
This new parody video, by YouTube comedy channel Satire, imagines an iPhone taken to the limits of tallness ? with a few clever applications that seem like they might actually work. The panorama function certainly is a natural fit.
