People on the street seem convinced, saying “I like it a lot” and “it does look better,” describing it as “faster, smoother, prettier, and more practical.” According to the clip, the purpose of the stunt was to prove that “it doesn’t matter what Apple releases because people are going to think it’s prettier, bigger and better than the competition anyway.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3984627/apple-ios9-android-iphone/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3984627/apple-ios9-android-iphone/"},"headline":"Watch Pranksters Trick iPhone Users Into Thinking Android Is the New iOS9","datePublished":"2015-08-04T21:13:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:01.444Z","description":"\"I just think Apple is always better\"","url":"https://time.com/3984627/apple-ios9-android-iphone/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
