Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook took the stage Wednesday to unveil an eagerly awaited revamping of the company’s flagship products, including the iPhone, iPod, iTunes—all the way down to its ubiquitous white earphones. So to celebrate the new iPhone 5 let's take a look back at how the Apple iPhone has evolved over the years. Enjoy.

A resurrected Steve Jobs returns as a holographic rapper to introduce the new iPhone 5 in this animated parody titled Steve Jobs: Resurrection. The animation features humorous allusions throughout and takes subtle jabs at previous iPhone models as well as Jobs’ successor Tim Cook. The animated video, directed by Aaron Simpson and written by Andy Ochiltree, features original music by Markaholic. Enjoy.
