A lot of good their specs did them...

It barely beats last years model, and the iPhone 5 sends the GS3 home crying to mommy.
Got a tip for us?

I love'em!
The message, the style, the humor, and even the voiceover work.
Very well done Apple! Reminds me of the days of the fun iMac G3 commercials!

Agree with the terse email comment. Tim needs to tell somebody to shove their stupid opinion. (Please start with Gizmodo!)
Instead of Mac Vs. PC ads, we need some IOS Vs. Androids ads
That would be confusing. To the vast majority of consumers, there's the iPhone and then there's everything else. They don't know iOS from Android from Lost in Space. Apple would lower itself by directly comparing itself to Android when Apple is in a leading position. You do the Mac vs PC stuff when you are scrappy and fighting to grow your brand. But when you're the big boy on the block, you don't lower yourself to comparisons with lesser products. You trumpet the strengths and special features of your own product.
Samsung, by comparing itself to the iPhone and also by making fun of iPhone owners, is basically admitting that the iPhone is the one to beat. Samsung ads show a sense of desperation. Apple's ads exude confidence.
So they are way better than $150 headphones, but at $29 they are a little steep? So... a better price would be $.32?
Exactly what I was thinking!
The new commercials are strange...only one of them shows off the iPhone 5's screen...the others show off the ear pods and software
Because they aren't processed as much as Beats or Bose, I would take anything over those.
The thumbs commercial is moronic. It's just Apple trying to justify having a tiny screen still. Guess what, Apple, not every has the same length thumb. Stop screwing around and give people a real screen. And LOL at Maps. Hahaha.
I know you didn't ask me, but I'll tell you anyway

Great for the price. Love that they're ceramic as well.
Apple makes 2.5, 3.5, 9.6, 4.0, 11, 13, 15,17,21,27 and 30 inch screens. If Apple wanted to make a sub 5" screen they certainly could. A 4.0" screen was the perfect compromise. Some of us use our phones with one hands. We have iPads for when we want to use two.
I use Klipsch Image S4 earbuds with Comply foam tips, for $70 they are killer. For home use I have Shure SRH840s.
As an iPhone 4 owner I don't get a 'must buy' feeling when I see the ads. Even not getting curious.
Specially the headphone one, seems very few people use Apples supplied ones anyway, I use Sennheiser CX50 and would unlikely to even unpack them.
Panorama pictures, there are apps for that.
Laws of physics - stuff is getting smaller all the time for the last 30 years. iPhone 4 is thinner then 3 I guess. Nothing new.
The Samsung ad is moderately funny, but way too long. IMHO the message gets lost in too much information, plus can't see the the phone clearly.

I think generally these are good ads -- about as good as they're going to get considering the general lackluster of iPhone 5 & iOS 6 -- but the physics ad really comes off as patronizing. It has this attitude of, "Don't worry ignorant little consumers, it's bigger and thinner. That's crazy! Like I don't know, physics is weird! But don't think about it, just buy it."
