- Frustrated with Apple Products? So are we, that's why we've gone a little bit Macklemore.
Ironically this song is available on iTunes here

Lyrics
It was 2008 when I got my first phone
White box, white case all glass and chrome
All that power in the palm of my hand
And in that one moment
How could I understand
What this meant, where this went
Now it's a few years on
And it goes on and on and on
Never better for the setter of trends
From a chrome and glass chapel
Since I had my first gen,
You better believe it was Apple.
iPhone, ITunes, Cable Dock it
Ring tones, App Store, all in my pocket
Hard case, I rock it
While up jumps the stock it
still breaks when I drop it
and I wonder why.
So I get a new phone
it gets dropped in a well
and I'm doing the rice trick
the silica gel
and I wonder as well,
why the water's so deadly
You make millions of phones
Why can't you protect me?
This is a call out
for the people that grapple
With each generation
Those children of Apple
Who stand at the gates
with their fistfull of dollars
to give to Steve Jobs
Yo, hear him holler
Welcome to a brave new world
so take your iPhone 3 and throw it out
This phone is gonna change the world
You need an iPhone 4
You need it now
Return to the Mac store 2010
Now it's two years on
and I'm here again
Looking at a phone
that looks just like mine
and it seems the same
but I've been told to buy
So I take it home, unpack it
without questioning it
I try to get it started
but the SIM card won't fit
It keeps hitting the rim
and it seems like it's smaller
so I get a new SIM
and I make a call
But reception is patchy
there's problems with hearing
I can't get a signal
Cause my thumb's interfering
and to top it all off
there's one final disgrace
the damn iPhone 4 just won't fit in its case
Welcome to a brave new world
so take your iPhone 4 and throw it out
This phone is gonna change the world
You need an iPhone 5
You need it now
New year, new phone
got a new plan to get it
and it's still not waterproof
So you better not wet it
I hear Sony's making phones
that you can use underwater
and the Samsung Galaxy
is much cheaper to order
But I'm a slave to the iPhone
it's got all my apps
though it does delete some
where the fuck's Google maps?
I despise all the lies
that your genii tell me
This five is resized
for the case that you'll sell me
It's disgraceful and wasteful
to throw out my cables
you made them apple
why am I now unable
to lock my phone to a clock
with a 30 pin dock
this shit ain't third party
this is all Apple stock
But the Apple line's tightening
The new king is lightning
I'm holding the fruit
While the serpent is biting
And I find it so frightening
it's fueling my fears
that like every Mac addict
I'll be back
In two years
Welcome to a brave new world
so take your iPhone 5 and throw it out
This phone is gonna change the world
You need an iPhone 6
You need it now
I need it... Wow

This video is completely unrealistic. I see 7 people filming with their iPhone, and not one is filming vertically.
At the beginning I thought the song and video were a little like Macklemore's Wings, and then the chorus of children came in and made me sure it was on purpose.
When the description says “we went a bit Macklemore”? YA THINK?
We need an updated version of this
I just realized the song video an sound is a take off Macklemore's wings. Both are awesome.
I thought I was the only one!
I was searching desperatly on the commentsection until I Find you
wow, quite a message here, especially when the choir comes in...
Amazing !!
True.Nice work with the song.
Piece of art!!!
Love this!!
This is amazing
I need it now!
Really Awesome! I love the combination of creativity of great story and melody! Well done! ;)
This is so great.
this is awesome
Thanks to a random TV Tropes article I've discovered AoA and bought all their albums on *sigh* iTunes, first time for me to buy a piece of legal music (woo!) I've been listening to this song for quite some time now, the video didn't disappoint at all, as usual :D
Great song! Good job guys, keep going!
This is pretty much the best song ever. So honest. So true.
I shed a tear at 3:35.
So true!
Love the chorus
Great song/video guys!
Wow, that was awesome. A little critique of the modern world as well, love it!
I love the tune to this
Look up "wing&" by apple
Nokia 2100. LOL. Had one myself. Loved the song guys. Keep it going.
I love that last verse
Awesome
Great video!
10/10 great song
The parts with the child(ren)'s voice(s) (can't quite make out whether that's massive reverb or not) are chilling - it's a lovely song, not only for its apt critique (speaking as someone who likes Apple's gear), but also because the buildups and the musical creativity in it is great too. This is one of the better ones you made, Awesome. Keep making those Awesome tunes!
*And please teach me how to dance to Dubstep.* ;D
This is an amazing song haha! I love the description "That's why we've gone a little bit Macklemore" x)
This is a really sad song.
"Ironically this song is available on iTunes here"
And it just got sadder.
I'd have a different word for that than irony. (And it's not "phony".)
Briljant ...absoluty briljant and very correct hahaha
I've never had a phone, but this video was scary because of how true it is.
For not being the usual jokes passed on by Axis, this video was actually amazing!
Very impressed by the insight put into the system, best of wishes!
macklemore - wings
Hahaha! Great video, so true. Nice ending.
I got an brand-new iPhone 5c for birthday and it works fine. I was really proud of it until the iPhone 6 came out. then i felt old-fashioned even if i got the second newest! but i'm happy with my phone and i'm not going to get a new one untill i need. and i don't know what kind of phone i'll get then... we'll see...
Well done!
I use BB, love my Z10, and im proud of it.
Great song :D
Still fresh today
I first saw this video when I got my first phone, the iPhone 6. 5 years later, I got my new iPhone 11 Pro and all I could think about was this video.
Had a Galaxy S2 since release. Still works perfectly... I did, however, /root in to it and upgraded the OS so that the auto-updates didn't chew down and ruin it... That seems to be what happens; the 'updates' send the phone to break so you 'have' to buy a new one.
I used my first smartphone for 3 or 4 years, and I use this phone since October...
And both of them is Samsung galaxy LOL so I don't know much about IPhone.
But honestly, many people says IPhone's camera is great.
This is fukken brilliant!
Just got the HTC One 8X and I love it. I already dropped it, no damage :-)
I love The Wings Cx
can't believe this doesn't have more views
Here we go
Another year, another new iphone
I miss U :(
NOKIA!!!
I've still got an older model flip top Nokia too. lol
cool video guys!
I've had the same phone since 2006, so I guess I was beaten by Lee, but it was (and is) on the other hand my first phone.
I've never cracked or broken any of my iphones. I've never had an issue and they've always been able to do what I need. I know the IOS very well, they have one of the best customer supports available and i have never been let down. That's why I get an apple product every 3 years or so.
That is an awesome Legend of Zelda tattoo.
Yes, yes it is! :D
I never have and never will own an apple product.
***** Same
Alex Howarth same
rowbocool wow
Alex Howarth what
rowbocool i thought you were taking the mikey
Still using my 4 year old iphone 4, still happy with it except not having glonass support. I can't imagine any other phone coming close to iphone 4 in quality etc in 2010. Now on the other hand competition is good enough, you don't have to pay the premium for similar stuff. My next phone would definitely be an affordable android like Nexus 5 etc. Nevertheless apple makes quality phones, at least digitizer wouldn't come off in the second day of usage or it would allow you to hear what other end is saying on the call unlike Moto G that my wife has.
damn this song is good
would be great to see this video 5 years from now.
Well well well. iPhones are still proprietary, still not waterproof, still a new one every year, still nothing new with each iPhone. And of course, getting more expensive. What a sad world we live in, but people all over the world still support Apple.
@@Nobaris9961 I dont remember this video or that comment i made. And your comment is true for almost all products. Most changes are iterative. regardless, thanks for telling my current self about my past self. Please remind me again in 5 years to see this video
I had to watch an iPhone ad before watching this video :P
I am one of the elite few who don't buy new things unless the old one breaks. Much cheaper to do and you STILL get all the same stuff as everyone else.
Should have gotten a Razr if you were worried about it breaking?
Indestructible NOKIAs for the win!
And yes, there still are phones with proper buttons =)
Only Apple I've ever bought is the Ipod classic back in 2008 and it's still going strong xD
But I'm sure it's also the only Apple product I'll ever own^^
dem macklemore tunes
Truth. So much truth to this it hurts.
hey... that's in Sydney right? right next to the rebel sport? I live in NZ, so I'm just asking to make sure it's not just my mind playing tricks on me.
Trust in ONLY
You went full Macklemore
Never a truer word has been said on the subject...
7 now
I prefer Apple over Android, for the simple fact that it actually works well after two years when I can get a new phone, but I still think this video is awesome.
I don't even own any kind of mobile phone.
Nobody would want to call me. :U
I will Freako
Then make prank calls on the way and have fun. :-)
And don't worry: You'll get called if you don't hide your number.
+Freako Neither me. I don't want one, anyway.
Call, is that an Instagram filter?
Im not very knowledged in music lingo, all I know is stuff I learned in 7th grade general music, piano lessons, and trying (and failing) to make dubstep. Is there a word for those chants that kids do in alot of songs. like it seems to be a trend in some music to have the group of kids chanting in some songs. can anyone tell me if there is a word for the kids chanting?
Zachary Wolf to be honest the chanting was kinda satanic, I like it tho... hm maybe I should get an iphone..
Get a Nexus 5 (or 2 for the price of an iphoney) and be happy
Can't like this enough Specially the Nokia gag
is this he main channel? why the fuck does it have so few viewers???? this content is high quality and awesome wtf people
Is it a real Zelda tat on jordan arm ? :O awesome!!
There exists something like a case. (just thought you needed to know)
Is the title of this supposed to be read "Phones" or "Phonebucks"?
And Jordan's good points are why I always keep my Android.
And here comes 6 like they predicted.
13 -12-2020
This is so weird watching in retrospect knowing Jordan's transition. Guess that just means her transition went well considering I can barely recognize her in this video lol.
I was able to buy a really nice phone from International Businesses who sell at far better prices. I got a brand of phone no one's heard of, but it's a phone that is just as good as any other smartphone around the $600/$700 price except it only cost me $155 brand new. Perfectly fine. It's Android, so straight away it's at least better than the iPhone.
i need an iphone 3 ima subscribe only becoz of this video
I bought an iPhone 4 when it was 4 years old.
Looks like there are 48 fan boys that have watched this video,
why don't you get a Moto X?
Took me a minute to realize it was a Wing$ parody lmao
PHONE$ - The Sad And Ugly Truth About iPhones Through The Years...
(Although I'm an iPhone owner myself, this song is right on the money - no pun intended)
Sad but true...
(Haha, I don't even have a smartphone^^)
I hope you all now what song this is parodying. Still clever and has an independent message. Good Jobs. Get it?
iPhone made for £200 But sold for £500.....
sold for about 700 € in germany ,,
They need to make money...
dre beats made for 14$ and sold for too much$
Toby McMillan $700 is too much, $450 is enough
Not even £200. It's estimated to be between 170-200$.
Я все еще не понимаю, почему "Я ТЕЛЕФОНЫ" и "Я ПЛАНШЕТЫ" такие популярные. Мне и так вполне достаточно Nokia 3310, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, и обычного PC с Windows XP.
Aussie Jack Black this guy is....
I love Apple...;)
there are more people hatin apple then apple users
They did made a case that protects it ._. ... why not buy it ?
i had all of these problems XD it's not even about apple products only... for me it's with all of smarts XD
new generetion...
Problem with the end: You can't destroy the evidence.
is this a parody of that macklemore song?
Yes it's the inspirational song they made about nike
Wings!
