They teamed up with John Savio and John Matthews to recreate the iPhone 3GS using 42” LCD TVs. According to the [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddbrand-circuit-board) description of the video above, each of the LCD TVs on Reko Rivera and Bobby Hartman’s iPhone costumes feature a looping video of an actual iPhone’s screen in normal use.
