This was really annoying. This is really bad compared to Google's Christmas video. Not being a hater but I think Google did a better job at making a Christmas special video.
Man only Apple can get away with not describing their product in their ads.
Apple makes the stupidest commercials. Not as bad as Samsung, though.

Apple is beginning to make weak commercials.. when jobs was around i was always impressed with the sound score behind the commercial as well as the storyline/outline of the commercial. not to creative anymore. seems like there trying to hard
too bad its impossible to find a ipad mini at this time at a store or online
These commercials are too soft.
C'mon Apple. We don't need transformers and explosions, but tighten up a bit...
Oh give me a break. It's funny and edgy. Anyway, the S-Beam one where the wife beams her hubby a naughty video "you probably should't watch it on the plane" as he gets in a cab is better. Identical concept that's more acceptable to hyper sensitive people I guess.
And if you could "bump" iPhones (using NFC, not that cheezy app) to share videos, pics and stuff, people would swoon like it was the second coming. Just saying.

It isn't stupid if it makes Apple BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
Nobody can even come close to Apple with those iPad spots. White iPad on white background, minimalism, zen, no irritating ads....Superb.

Some of you.... Too ***** funny.
I find the ad - Brilliant.
Funny is how your perceived thinking takes some of you to a place of negativity.
I'll tell u why it's brilliant. I myself bought my 90 year old Uncle an iPad and my separately my 86 year old Aunt.
When they both used FACETIME they literally had tears in their eyes how technology brought them together with such ease even tho they were hundreds of miles apart. Being next to them marveling at the technology was priceless.
So very few of you get the concept of the ad. That's what's sad.
Ya, kids should tell their parents "I simply wants a smaller iPad because it fits my lifestyle." It sounds so classy. .... Few months later, kids will tell their parents "I need new eyeglasses."
In my previous post I replied to v0lume4, I said " I don't like this CHEAP Apple TV ad because it targets at little girl's parents and old man. It's not cheap to advertise on TV, can Apple come up with something better for broader audience and products? "
Apple is losing steam.
Why would Apple release a cheaper product to replace a more expensive product? I don't get it. Maybe it's a good idea to lower down the revenue.
This is a cheap TV ad, I don't like it..... It suggests that old man should better use an iPad. Is it because it will be too difficult for an old man to use OSX or old man has no money to buy a 27" iMac.
Why does the girl not use a full size iPad? Parents are cheap?
One more time, this is a CHEAP TV ad
There's an app for bumping iPhones and sharing photos and stuff.
Of course, the easiest thing to do - particularly for large groups - is to just send videos via the Messages app. Then you don't have to bother with bumping.

How do we know it's her grandfather?
It's pretty implied given the age gap.
If it's not, she's telling a stranger her location on December 25.
Get with the times. Normal people don't need a 27"screen12core32GB computer to check their email, surf the web and talk to their friends and family.
People will buy the iPad mini for their own reasons, maybe because it's smaller or maybe because it's cheaper.
I'd be the first say I think this is brilliant. It's sweet, and oh so simple.
What you've just written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read your comments. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Believe me I would never be caught dead bumping my iPhone with anyone else's. . Completely lame. Oh and I don't need Santa and Mrs. Clause to be "edgy". If Apple's commercials are boring because they're not "edgy" enough fine with me.
