Looks like Apple is finally including the business market in their commercials ...nice.

Although, the endings seem awkward IMO.

Also, whatever happened to the iPod touch commercial?

These were quite possibly some of the worst ads I have ever seen.

Fantastic ads. They should've done something like this a long time ago.

And I personally really like the endings...adds more of a human touch to it.

I second the comment that the endings are awkward.

I liked the original series of ads better.

Not too impressed with these. I think most people will see some weird person talking in a commercial and change the channel or leave the room. I guess it is nice to show that people have many uses for iPhone, but they are just boring to me.

They're good. They don't seem overwhelmingly 'Apple', but still retain the simple background, and everything you come to expect from Apple ads. The black seems to suit it, although I'm not sure if I prefer black backgrounds to white. But still, we all knew Apple had to move away from white eventually. Can't stay stuck in the past.

Plus, I too like that 'human element' at the ends.
Makes it seem less like actors/models. More like people.

A bit bizarre...

I found the visual voicemail to be the only succesful ad. The one about finding a name online was very weak... and Stephano works if you want to sell the iPhone to the mob, or maybe Sopranos fans, but isn't that show over?

No females... and I'll bet Stephano misses instant messaging... sorry but loading it off a webpage is a poor implementation of IM!
