Did he say Thompson iPhone!!!???
I think he just said that in the scene where he broke into a computer shop and is telling the girl to get him all these different items.

Yes he did. My guess is that the script said "eye phones" but the subtitles said "iPhones" which had me cracking up.
shareIn 1995, you wouldn't have heard "iphone". You would have heard "eye phone" and in a few moments saw that he was using virtual reality gear and had an "AHA!" moment.
Laugh, and the world thinks you're crazy.
Weep, and the world thinks you're bipolar.
Nope, there actually was an "iPhone" released in 1998: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_iPhone
The internet started getting huge in the early 90s, which caused a lot of companies to start naming stuff with "i-words" around that time. That trend had pretty much already died out by the time Apple picked it up again in the early 2000s with the ipod.

And now Futurama had an episode parodying the iPhone, with that spelling. I think I'll have to watch that episode and this film again to see if they are at all similar! xD

To the OP, he did say eye phones not I-phone, when he was in the computer store. Here's the text from the script: I need a Sino-Logic 16...

Eye phone, but... it's funny to hear him say that today, right? A real "eye phone" would probably be a lot cooler than an iPhone.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
