I hate every single one of the new ones. The old ones from before the iPhone was launched were much cooler, but maybe that was because we were seeing the phone in action for the first time.

protekt0r · Jul 24, 2008, 12:28 AM

pfffft. my iphone doesn't move nearly as fast as that one in the commercial does, even on wifi. the GPS DEFINITELY ain't that fast.

one wonders if they were playing the demonstration video in fast forward.

Clarus9 · Jul 24, 2008, 12:34 AM

Yeah... the iPhones in the commercial are definitely "twice as fast" as my 3G... gah

DiamondMac · Jul 24, 2008, 12:36 AM

Eh, they are ok

Not the best, Not the worst

jrcsh6 · Jul 24, 2008, 12:38 AM

i love the whole "everyone will like paying half as much" or however they phrase it...however LOADS of people aren't able to get "half as much". i can't wait for everyone to freak out next year when they aren't "eligible" because they got the deal on the 3g this year

Mad Mac Maniac · Jul 24, 2008, 12:42 AM

that's so funny, because i was just on the Apple website looking for the new one like an hour ago!

Oh yea and definitely in some sort of fast forward.. u could say false advertising, but who wants to stare at a tv while watching something load?? Yea me either...

apple. · 12:55 AM

the new iphone commercials arent good anymore:!
they dont have the really catchy song that would make me turn to the t.v when im on the computer.

DUNE DUN DUNE DUNE DUNE DUNE.
damn i miss the black background too, now that background is white.

and the one that steve showed at wwdc 08 was like verizon style, eww.

Mike2128 · Jul 24, 2008, 12:57 AM

I want that iPhone. Is that 2.0.1 or something?

Mad Mac Maniac · Jul 24, 2008, 12:59 AM

yea i agree that these commercials don't really appeal all that much to me. but I mean they are assuming we already know everything about the iphone and just want to display what makes this one different.

Alphanumeric · Jul 24, 2008, 01:03 AM

Wow those were lame compared to the first gen iPhone ads.

Dmac77 · Jul 24, 2008, 01:08 AM

I don't like them. I personally think that the "Hello" ad from the oscars last year was one of Apple's best ads ever.

Jphillippe · Jul 24, 2008, 01:09 AM

My As* they're probably using Wifi with speeds up to 20 something megabytes/sec... and hacking the icon to make it seem like it says 3G...Nice marketing tools, but they don't fool me.

Bubba Satori · Jul 24, 2008, 01:15 AM

Stretching the truth will only lead to disappointed users. Does Apple really want to resort to making their products appear snappier than they are to lure the gullible ?

queshy · Jul 24, 2008, 01:15 AM

That iPhone is on steroids. Mine isn't nearly that fast! Notice the full battery, lol.

cromwell64 · Jul 24, 2008, 01:16 AM

really... who cares if there are new iphone ads?

ahahahaha so true.

They have region specific versions of each of the ads. I'm in Canada and I saw "Unslow" earlier today on TV. GPS located in on downtown Toronto, here in Canada.

Also, instead of browsing the New York Times. The user was browsing The Globe and Mail, a very popular Canadian newspaper.

Obviously at the end it also showed the Rogers and Fido logos instead of the At&t logo.

Ads aren't up on apple.ca yet though...

ziggyonice · Jul 24, 2008, 01:28 AM

Hmm, to tell you the truth, I really liked them. The style is just like the ads from a year ago, but more upbeat. I'm not quite sure what could be seen as being "worse"...

stagi · Jul 24, 2008, 01:28 AM

I agree with most of you, kind of boring ads. I prefer the first round of iPhone ads.

twoodcc · Jul 24, 2008, 01:32 AM

they sure do say "twice as fast" way to much

baslotto · 01:41 AM

The still hand holding the iPhone is freaking me out.. twice as fast!

It is strange lol. It twitches sometimes, but no fingers move.

McBanjo · Jul 24, 2008, 01:45 AM

I saw these on Australian TV the other night. But they were a bit different and had an Aussie accent.

lorinserbenz · Jul 24, 2008, 01:46 AM

They forgot to mention the laggy keyboard, crashes, horrible AT&T 3g coverage, erratic signal strength ... etc.. etc..

Oh and they must have been two feet from the cell site, I have never seen 5 bars with 3g.

But hey, its ok to suck as a phone its not like the device is called the IPHONE.

kashimo · Jul 24, 2008, 02:01 AM

Apple has released several TV ads in Japan as well for the 3G iPhone.

3-in-1
Music
Real Internet

These are like the original commercials that played in the US combined with the new ads. Too bad you can't get movies or TV shows in Japan yet.
