SANDY — Think the new iPhone 6s Plus isn't big enough? Enter the iPhone 6 "Plus Plus."

While the "Plus Plus" doesn't exist yet, local filmmaker Cassidy Hilton shared his vision of what it could look like in a video that parodies Apple's distinctive promotional style. Hilton owns numerous Apple products — including the MacBook used in the video — so he described the parody as being an "affectionate jab" at the company.


I wanted to make something that points out all of the cliche, stereotypical things they do.

"I wanted to make something that points out all of the cliche, stereotypical things they do," he said. "I feel like every time they announce something, they announce something really simple, but they try to make it sound really game-changing and revolutionary and everyone freaks out. But all they did was move the headphone jack or something like that."

Hilton has been making films professionally since 2010 and rounded up friends in his free time to make this project happen. He said a couple of people were tricked by the video, thinking it was the real deal even though the YouTube title says the commercial is a parody.
