YouTube user mecredis (above) was interviewed wearing his Motorola brick iPhone costume at 0:13. Nothing fancy, but great for getting on television. That was in 2006.
Apple Museum has a hot chick standing beside some guy in an iPhone costume.
AF Jamison has an iPhone hanging from his neck.
And in the office?
Flickr user Gregory Hull has taken a photo of a dog with an iPhone costume oh (well I can’t assume its his dog).
The same thing goes for Scott Edwards. But it’s on him, not his dog.
Why is the iPhone such a popular costume to don? It could have been any other model, but landing on the iPhone as a choice costume has that preconceived iconic “thing.” It’s like Dracula or Frankenstein – the phone has been raised to a pop culture phenomenon.
