While this wasn't a bad attempt, most of the humor fell flat due to the monotonous voices and slow pace. Right from the beginning, we expect nothing but bashing on the iPhone--which is fine, but the problem is that there's not a single thing in here that I didn't expect. Since I expected all the jokes, they lost their humor, and really, while Cyanide and Happiness is funny, it's not a copy-paste formula.
It wasn't a pain to watch though, and it has its entertainment value. The art was simple, yet smooth. The voice acting, while monotonous, sounds like you actually spent the money on a decent mic, which is good.
I think you'd be much better off bringing something (relatively) new to the whole iPhone parody table. A lot of possible humor lies in comparisons to Android, monthly phone bills, and Apple's music DRM.
I don't intend to judge you based on one instance of plagiarism, but please refrain from copying Cyanide and Happiness (or anything else) so directly in the future. If you can't think of funny jokes on your own, perhaps you're better off writing more serious Flashes--which isn't by any means a bad thing. Also remember that the best humor is often the most unexpected. So writing serious stuff and then having one hilarious joke in the middle of an otherwise-dramatic story could really improve the individual quality of said joke.
I've gone on way too long. If nothing else (or if TL;DR), just don't plagiarize.

Thanks for the review
Oh look, another iPhone 5 Ad. Don't we have enough of these already? The last one was tolerable, but this one... no, this one was just terrible. There was clearly no thought put into it and barely had any redeeming qualities.
The fact that this is ANOTHER iPhone 5 parody doesn't help its case, but being the EXACT SAME THING as every single other one is too much. They weren't funny the first time, and this one is no exception.
The fact that you blatantly rip off Cyanide & Happiness is also disgraceful, although since that's all that your other work is, I'm not surprised.
The one thing that you couldn't POSSIBLY fail at, lip-syncing, you failed at. It was barely accurate, and did not look real at all.
Every drawing is clearly traced, and what wasn't traced, were stock photos. Seriously, come up with your own art, it's not hard.
The voice acting didn't help either, the monotone voices of the characters were not entertaining, and made the entire video difficult to sit through.
The ONLY redeeming quality this had was the 'slightly' decent writing. It managed to get maybe one chuckle out of me, which was enough to keep me from blamming it.
I'm sorry, but this was terrible.
