Apple aired their teaser ad for the Apple iPhone during the Oscars tonight. The ad has run multiple times during the Oscars.



The advertisement started with a collection of scenes from television and film with actors saying "Hello" on a telephone. The scenes are played in rapid succession, and the iPhone appears on the screen. Then a black screen with the words: "Hello" ... then ... "Coming in June" and finally an Apple logo.

Apple Quicktime: Apple has posted an official version of the iPhone Hello ad on their website.

Movie Mirrors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (HD), 6 (Google), 7 (HD), 8

Update: The iPhone now has "AT&T" rather than "Cingular" listed in the corner. image. Cingular is now the new AT&T.

Update 2: Maclantic notes that the background music is Inside Your Head by Eberg (iTunes Link). A sample of the track is available in MP3 format from Eberg's site.

Update 3: Forum user Clonenode has compiled a list of all the actors (with the exception of one) who appear in the iPhone teaser ad. The one actress left off the list was Audrey Tautou according to Mac fly (film)

I thought it was a great commercial. Very classy, and a perfect fit for the Oscars, with all the references to classic movies and TV.

I can't wait for someone to like break apart the ad to get the new hidden features of iPhone.
I noticed that it seems to have a magnetic side, which I assume is for an Apple Remote.

I also noticed that it smelled slightly of strawberries.

I think I'm recording this, but don't have the tech to snip apart the stream, as it's being done vie Firewire from my cable box.

It was a decent commercial and it was nice to see it within the first 30 minutes.
On a side note, BofA is rubbing it in our faces that they're all about opportunity, code for "you can have a credit card if you don't have a social security number."
