Things are about to get even testier when it comes to the battle between good and evil. Our friends at Verizon just shot over this document which appears to detail a dual-mega-launch of epic proportions. How does a June 9th launch of both the DROID BIONIC and iPhone 5 sound? As many of you know, June 9th falls on a Thursday, but not just any Thursday. It’s the Thursday during the week of Apple’s WWDC conference which up until now, had been rumored to not include the launch of a new iPhone. Well, that may no longer be the case.
You guys ready to see who will officially come out on top of this long heated rivalry?
Update: To those of you coming on to this post late, understand that it was an April Fools’ prank. Stop acting like children in the comments.
Cheers VZW tipster!



Whenever the release date is, it will be interesting to see who wins this one between these 2 phones. Does anyone now what’s supposed to be new with the iPhone 5 com pared to the iPhone 4?
Lol Just came in here and saw this and I almost lost it. Good joke Kellex
lol @ telling your visitors aka the source of your income for this pathetic excuse of a blog to quit acting “childish.”
there’s a difference between outright lying and playing a prank, dumb fucks
ok seeing how it is no longer April Fools day this is kind of clogging up your home screen. I think it’s safe to take it down.
LOL this was funny
i hate you.
Awesome april fools day prank! Just sad now because I want the bionic now lol….
Read the starred note at the end???
The IPHONE5 will be android base 🙂
Locked bootloader = Not a chance in hell will you ever see a cent, motorola.
Tampa Bay Examiner thinks this is for real.

haha but thunderbolt had 3 april fools jokes before it was even april 1
Anyone else realize that the android crushes the **hone in all of the statistics shown?
Pretty gay considering the fact that Verizon said the Bionic would be here by the end of April and the fact that this an Android site not a gayphone site.
wow…this is soooo fake!
this is fake? bullshit! i was all hyped
Didn’t Steve Jobs say nobody would buy a phone with a screen size bigger than the iphone? Yet, the Droid X took in record sales…
I thought the Droid Bionic had 16GB of onboard storage?
Totally fake lol. However, I did enjoy it.
DId anyone notice how it said stuff about learning how to stereotype to qucikly sell them?
can i buy geebeez from the app store?
Oh look, another Apple/iPhone reference. That never gets old.
LMAO “Details include the tightness of their clothing”
You had me there for a minute, but then I read the text on the image. Pretty funny.
Though that iPhone 5 looks awesome.
I want wifeez!!
lol, well a lot of sites linked to this. Congrats. Well played Kellex, well played. 😀

Thought it might be true till I read the *note
idongle to mifi? seriously!! This has to be an april fools joke. I want it built in.
Kellex, I kind of hate you for this… but I can’t stay mad at you. haha
Wifees and Geebees? Yes, today is April 1! Nice to see that even the CSRs at Verizon have a sense of humor. AWESOME!
Well that explains why they downed their return time for new phones to a ridiculously small window. My girlfriend JUST got the iphone 4 a few weeks ago. She would have easily been able to return her phone and wait two months for this phone under the old timeframe for returns. She’s going to be piiiiiiiiiiiiissed. 🙁
Tiered plans now coming??
lawl
wonderfully subtle picture you have there kellex!
did i mention android users are too smart for april fools! haha those dumb i*phone users
dat Wifeez
Yeah, nice April fools, the Verizon checkmark sholud be to the left of the V, not above the word Verizon #EPIC FAIL!
Check Verizon’s website before you go worrying about the severely overused term “epic fail.”
Fake new stories, classy. Stupid enough to take my readership elsewhere
You’re the coolest person ever
This is cool, though Google Gmail in Motion is pure win!
I’m guessing this is April Fools?…
APRIL FOOLS!
edit: GEEBEEZ!
APRIL FOOLS!
edit: GEEBEEZ!
Wifeez…lol. Give this man a giant cookie.
iDongle?
Yeah… I’m going to stick with Android for my 4G needs.
I want the iPhone 5! It has the Geebeez and the Wifi’s!
Nice April Fools 😀
I don’t care.
Great Joke! I think it was better than googles 🙂
i like the stereotyping guide! nice work.
very classic april fools
This would have got me but the *phone wont be coming out until Oct this year good try though!
Oct. of this year??? Last I heard was Jan. of 2012. ???
No one knows people. I mean I’m not saying this is real but its not really like apple to miss there year marks.
It’s actually dropping Sept 😉
Fyi
I’ll be first in line for the five!!!
You would be…
Poof! Lol
Both of these phones won’t come out June 9th
LOL! I love the wifeez and geebeez!
me too. that was what made me realize it was fake when i first read it. i live in the south so im sure some hick actually uses thems words. lol.
F!!! I thought it was real and got my homes up. Why do people have to be faggots and put out something like this, just to get a rise out of people? So freaking annoying!
its also annoying when people throw around slurs like its part of their every day language…
April Fools, I hope. Otherwise Verizon just got a whole lot hipper with that profile demographic at the bottom. 🙂
In case any of you missed it…..READ THE BOTTOM PARAGRAPH!!!!!!!!
very funny…..April Fools
It does kind of give us a better timetable though as you must consider that this was based on an actual release form. Notice that it says the bionic comes with Skype for front facing camera?
We all know that it is still in delay so if they plan to release it with Skype then maye well see it later than soon.
This is def april fools read the bottom of the page
April Fools?
That sucks, I’m god dman tired of waiting for the Bionic, If it’s not out by May than I’m not going to get it, hell I may just get the Galaxy S2, at least you can load custom ROMs in those
dude its a April Fool pruck, it will come out on May, well hopefully cause i been waiting for a long time for this phone, ready to dump my BB S2 YES! BB S2! im so ready for an upgrade, so May let it be the month.
April 28
CRAP, I was all excited and started reading it to my wife letting her know she would have to now let go of her D1 when it hit me. Good joke but…bad joke.
Best April Fool’s joke of the day. Nice work. On a similar note, I was kind of excited to have a launch date for the Bionic. I’m a school psychologist, so that week is my first week of summer break and my first thought was how I’d be able to spend the summer playing with my new toy. So now that it’s not true I’m a little sad.
It says geebeez…good april fools joke.
Fake or not – Bionic Wins! F U apple!
I pity the FOOL 🙂
bahaha it’s fake b/c “nobody wants a huge bulky phone” look at that 4″ retina display, steve jobs would die twice if that was released.
Why you stop censoring iPhone?
boof
I call April Fools. Read the bottom of it.
“CSRs are to read the stereotyping guide for both bionic & Iphone 5 customers. Details include tightness of clothing, thickness of glasses rims, attitude, size of European shoulder bag, and continued insistence of having a phone with a white back.”

Yes, but, can either of them make phone calls?
I can’t wait to see those iPhone 4G MiFi dongles…I’m sure Apple will be charging at least $40 each…and they’ll probably come in an array of hip colors and make a neat clicking sound when it attaches to the iPhone. ; )
Haha…stereotyping guide…that’s the best part. +1 Kellex. Better than last year when you tried to tell us your phone got bricked from the OTA update that was rolling out.
I call BS on this!
APRIL FOOLS
I don’t carry a European shoulder bag or have hipster thick framed glasses, so I guess the i*hone 5 is out… ;o) Good thing I’m still rocking my OG. Contract is up in December and curious about what will be out then.
Lol
lmao customer stereotyping, tightness of clothes, thickness of glasses haha hilarious.
Fool me once…
Iphone 5? is that really all apple is up to? Just iphone 5? 5 different apple phones? but theres over 100 different android phones with its own unique features in each phone. and apples been out alot longer then android.
LOL funny.I thought the release date of the Bionic was finally set. 🙁
this just got interesting….
awesome
this just got interesting….
awesome
“bigger wifeez and geebez”…. Happy April 1st!
“bigger wifeez and geebez”…. Happy April 1st!
is this for real?
That picture has be dying. So subtle it’s brilliant!
BOOOO!!! I was hoping for the Bionic soon. Plus at that point we will have to pay for 4G service…..
Hook line and sinker!
Read the text at the bottom of the image! Hella funny kellex awesome! April fools
April Fools!
Rofl Droid Life wins again.
You know this is an April Fools joke because there’s nothing derogatory written about the iphone.
Awesome funny story!
APRIL FOOLS… Bullsh*t Verizon is worthless P.O.S, what they actually mean is it won’t come out till 2 years from june 9th. Meaning june 9, 2013
I Call April Fools on this one.
Apple is running out of iPads and thats no april fools lmao
I love Apple!
Apple wins again!
NOW THAT I READ THE BOTTOM….I THINK ITS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE…I SURE HOPE IT IS…I DON’T WANT AN IPHONE 5 UNTIL NEXT YEAR AFTER MY TBOLT IS REPLACED WITH THE T3D…LOL
NOW THAT I READ THE BOTTOM….I THINK ITS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE…I SURE HOPE IT IS…I DON’T WANT AN IPHONE 5 UNTIL NEXT YEAR AFTER MY TBOLT IS REPLACED WITH THE T3D…LOL
Haha.. almost bought it. Thickness of glasses rims..
The dead give away it is an April Fools joke is the fine print at the bottom
But did anyone read in the ad where it says “The phone will not have 4G LTE support at launch, but will instead receive an upgrade in September via iDongle-to-4G MiFi”? Is this implying that it will have a 3G radio installed and get a “Dongle” to attach to the phone in September in order to use 4G?
Yep, you’ll have to attach your dongle to get 4G. 😛
Well done. And subtle. I thought it was legit until I read the grainy text of “bigger geebeez.” And then, I lol’d.
haha wifees and gebees….classic.
I say go for the one with the most geebeez…. bahahahahahaha!
an iDongle huh? good stuff!
Nice Spring Dual Launch in the Summer
Summer doesn’t start till the summer solstice which falls on June 21st this year…
So that’s one thing that’s kinda legit in this post hahaha
I can get bigger geebeez? Im switching to iphone! I’m tired of Flash, widgets, customization.
I can get bigger geebeez? Im switching to iphone! I’m tired of Flash, widgets, customization.
Yeah…and what’s with that whole only having 4g through an “iDongle” crap.
Sounds like a real “Dongle-Berry” to me =D!
Dongle-Berries are what you get when you don’t wipe data and cache.
geebez? ninja pleeeeeezeee, April fooled.
APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN I HAZ MOAR GEEBEEZ?

Notice how droid-life.com hates on the iphone 5. Iphone is superior people lets get tht straight!!! Ive had 5 android phones and now have the Thunderbolt. Iphone 4 is still superior to most new Droid Phones
lol, “customers may ask for the version with the bigger wifiez and geebeez” 😀
ha ha , you said dongle
wholy crap….should i keep my tbolt or go for a 4 inch iphone? thats hard…i mean a 4 inch…i always been a fan of android and of course 4.3 inch screens but the amount of good apps…hmmm…maybe ill just buy it as well..
/facepalm
*clutches European man purse* SO WHAT’S SO FUNNY!
lol, Its not a man purse, its a phone protector/reception device 🙂
Tightness of their pants……lol
its a satchel, indiana jones wore 1
It’s not a satchel, it’s a re-purposed WWI surplus gas mask bag!
It’s a murse
The dead give away as bein a joke is that of the iPhone Talking Points reading that the phone will not launch with 4GLTE (which is possible) but the kicker is the iDongle-to-4G MiFi.
Very funny in deed.
haha..
By the way. If this did happen to be real. Isn’t Brian Thompson from store 429 asking to be fired??? haha
I have been waiting for this all day haha!
That’s great…
now let’s see who else picks it up and runs with it. *LOL* Love the Guide…
That would be hilarious to see this on AOL or something 😀
Hahaha stereotyping guide FTW
LOL @ skin tightness of jeans.
classic april fools joke for the fanboys…. gotta love it
April Fools’!!! hahahha!
I’m going to buy one of each.and hold the Bionic up in the air while a stomp on the i*hone in front of everyone else in line.
LOOOVE the stereotyping guide! B-e-a-utiful!
had me for about a second until i read the paragraph below the phones. good one
happy april fools day
Nice! April fools!
I thought an iPhone had to be connected to my feelings in order to function correctly
Next time put the Droid Life logo on AFTER you do the screenshot… 🙂
Stereotyping Guide…nice!
A better April fools joke would have been to post that Verizon will be doing extensive work to the LTE network over the weekend and will have all issues resolved by Monday.
Dont believe anything you read today on ybe interwebz
HA HA
Nicely done, best Aprils Fools I’ve seen so far.
The best part is the comments at the bottom!
The stereotyping guide is hilarious.
I love the Idongle to Mifi line, classic.
Cam I get the Bionic with the bigger wifeez and the geebez?
haha nice
April fools!
(lol @ “geebeez”
Fake and gay.
wow, you’re smart!
That’s the same thing my nephew said about Mickey Mouse when we took him to Disney World. And you know what that did? Just made him look like an ASS! Congrats!
wow someone is still bitter about spending $90 on an ungreatful kid…
that’s funny
that’s funny
“wifeez and geebez”
