Hey at least with Apple you don't have the carrier logos plastered all over the hardware:

I'm surprised that they've made an ad about a minor feature like this. The ad's music and simple presentation fit the usual Apple style, but is this really the way to make people drool over an iPhone? Ads that say little but get into your subconscious might be more effective.

Is this finally something that we can truly say "Steve would never let happen"? (He was, after all, vegetarian.)

Maclver · Nov 20, 2012, 08:42 PM

Ok, so why are the pictures in the turkey ad full screen, whereas the pictures I have taken on my 5 have the black bars on the top and bottom?

inspirations365 · Nov 20, 2012, 08:42 PM

Digging the orchestra one. The music in their iPhone 5 commercials has this subtle feel of excitement/urgency/tension from the "up down up down" of the melody. Love it!

Zoomed in?

Or pre cropped to be the correct resolution?

Why does it matter? Don't you want to know what network you're connected to?

Cropped for the commercial.

FooMan2011 · Nov 20, 2012, 08:59 PM

I for one love the apple commercials. I'm a sucker for em!! My wife can't believe it because I don't easily get sucked in to corporate advertising and their mind games.

sransari · Nov 20, 2012, 09:01 PM

As usual, apple takes a novel implementation, and makes it look extremely archaic. They make photostream look like a simple facebook-type sharing feature, when it's really much more. This is why apple loses credibility and short-changes their innovative ideas. Stupid stupid stupid ad campaign. They would be worth a $trillion by now if they did a better job explaining why their implementations are better than the ones that have been out there for 4+ years.

mattroman246 · Nov 20, 2012, 09:03 PM

haha, anyone else catch that they made the pictures fit the screen?

b166er · Nov 20, 2012, 09:03 PM

people need to stop taking pictures and especially video in portrait.

Yelmurc · Nov 20, 2012, 09:07 PM

I like the microphone one. Its always good when a company explains how their products work.

Now I have to download the google YouTube app to play embedded video? That's Busch league.
I don't have this issue on other sites like autoblog.com.

man how do they keep the iphones all shiny and scratch free

iGrip · Nov 20, 2012, 09:12 PM

These ads are not up to Apple's usual standards.

Easy, invest $79.99 on a lifeproof case. I swear by them. Completely dust proof. Unlike the otter box and you wanna die when you take it out and you can't figure out why it has tiny scratches and scuff marks on it. Trust me, lifeproof is well worth the money.

Complaining about snobbish ads is like all of the gates. People just want to sound smart.

SamGabbay · Nov 20, 2012, 09:27 PM

They could release 2 new ads for the iPhone on the week when everyone is off but they can't release iTunes 11.

willisbr · Nov 20, 2012, 09:28 PM

These are terrible. When did they start letting first year multimedia students take over their ad campaign?

sazivad · Nov 20, 2012, 09:35 PM

A little more humorous than most others.

Some, of course, will dislike this and herald these ads as the end, blah blah blah, etc.

I like 'em.

Spungoflex · Nov 20, 2012, 09:36 PM

That thanksgiving commercial made me cringe. Seriously? A token black couple shows up to thanksgiving with their son? As if they don't have a family of their own they would rather spend time with. So contrived and condescending.

nostaws · Nov 20, 2012, 09:46 PM

Was that Jeff Daniels?

I was just about to say this, took the exact words out of my mouth.

They used a noise cancellation chip from a new company. And it sounds like a beta chip. It's hopeless compared to Nokia's HD calling and noise cancellation technology.
Calls from my Nokia to another Nokia sound so crisp, calls to an iPhone 5 have the HD calling but sound is fuzzy and the background noise is there.
Also Nokia manages to do it with 2 mics not three.
