Apple Says to 'Open Your Heart to Everyone' in Festive 'Frankie's Holiday' Ad

[MacRumors]

Apple has shared a new TV ad called "Frankie's Holiday" in time for the holiday season, accompanied with the tagline "open your heart to everyone."

In the ad, Frankenstein's monster brings a package with ornaments to a town square and starts singing "Home for the Holidays" by Perry Como on his iPhone. While he initially shocks the large group of people in the town, a young girl urges Frankenstein to come forward, and everyone joins along in singing with him.

Frankenstein's monster is portrayed by Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett, who stands 6'8" tall.

I thought the box was going to contain a lightning to 3.5mm adapter

Open your heart to everyone...with all new EMOJIS!

meanwhile, say goodbye to Airplay...

 

[!!!]

I'm not gonna open my heart to Apple. No more AirPort, soldered on RAM and SSD on new MBPs, and no new Mac Pro.

Frankenstein's Monster looks remarkably like Brad Garrett to me.

Says a lot about people complaining on this forums.

They never used Apple products, don't know what they are upset for. Buyers remorse? Clickfarms in India?

Touching ad. I liked the cinematography and the message.

Happy Holidays everyone, Hard to believe Thanksgiving (US) is almost here already!!

 

[840quadra]

I like the ad. Good for the brand, even though it was a little unclear why an iPhone was even in it. (I mean, why didn't Frankie just bring the music box?)

Subtle product placement?

Perhaps it is a family keepsake and he was worried he would get attacked and have it destroyed / stolen? IDK.

I am fine with it.

Why are you even on Macrumors forum, if you never used Apple products?

I actually enjoyed the ad. In a time where there is way too much hatred in the world, it sends a positive message of acceptance, even if fueled by a holiday celebrated by only a portion of the world.

* open your wallets ... to Apple.

You beat me to the punch. I was going to say the same thing

 

[trifid]

Sorry Apple, my heart isn't open to all the greedy stuff you've been putting out lately.

 

[rowspaxe]

so tiresome, even on first watch. imagine when you're watching it for the 30th time

 

[coolfactor]

What I get from this is that Apple is diving deeper into cinematography. Expect Apple-funded movies and TV series in the future?

 

[512ke]

Open your hearts AND your wallets.

 

[multipasser]

Lightning strike is the 3rd recording?

 

[blacktape242]

shut up apple, stop telling me what to do.

Ding Dongle Merrily on High

hahaha

 

[mojomaniak]

The red and green lights need to be swapped ... port and starboard! You'd think they'd pay would pay attention to that minute detail.

 

[enoxon]

When are people going to realize Frankenstein is the scientist, not the monster.

 

[CrownVic]

Remember the iPhone 5s holiday ad called "misunderstood"? Now THAT was a good holiday ad.

 

[BruceEBonus]

Not another Frankenstein's monster at Xmas advertisement again.

Apple - once truly magical. Now - the true masters of misdirection.

Sigh ....

 

[Nick11Mac]

Not a bad message for the coming season.
