iPhone 3G Commercial Airing on U.S. Television

MacRumors · Jul 7, 2008, 10:51 PM

Numerous readers have reported that Apple's iPhone 3G commercial has begun appearing on a wide variety of U.S. television stations. The commercial, entitled Hallway, debuted during Steve Jobs' keynote speech at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9th and was posted to Apple's site soon after. However, the commercial has remained conspicuously absent from television broadcasts until now.

The iPhone 3G launches this Friday in approximately 20 countries, with an additional 50 countries scheduled to begin offering the new iPhone later this year.

They do, I've seen the iPod nano, iPod touch and aluminum iMac ads on Foxtel numerous times; I've seen the iMac ad on Channel Seven also.

Saw it tonight on TNT during Saving Grace. So far this is the first time I've seen it on TV.

I was just thinking earlier that I haven't seen any commercials for the new iPhone on the tube. They played a lot more on the first version.

I saw it earlier today on Comedy Central. Is the Instinct going to have to stop showing their Instinct vs iPhone ads once the 3G iPhone is released? How can they continue to compare it to a phone that is no longer available?

weird... i just saw this thread looked up and saw it on TV -

Decrepit · Jul 7, 2008, 11:54 PM

They played it during a Futurama re-run on Comedy Central tonight. I had forgotten how the commercial went, so when I heard "better than the iPhone" I looked up and was ready to give the TV the finger.

pranavss11 · Jul 8, 2008, 12:04 AM

Omg I just saw it on Fox at 9.03 pm Pacific Time.
