Apple Shares New 'Hey Siri' iPhone 6s Ad Starring Cookie Monster

[MacRumors]

Apple today shared a humorous new iPhone 6s ad that features well-known Sesame Street character Cookie Monster. In the spot, Cookie Monster is baking cookies and using the always-on hands-free "Hey Siri" feature to set a timer.

On the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, the A9 processor and M9 motion coprocessor allows Siri to continuously listen for the "Hey Siri" command without needing to be plugged into power. On older devices, "Hey Siri" is available, but only while an iOS device is charging.

While Cookie Monster impatiently waits for the cookies to be done, he uses "Hey Siri" to play Jim Croce song "Time in a Bottle," and proceeds to pace around the kitchen, gobble up a wooden spoon, and moan about the wait.

The iPhone 6s "Timer" ad starring Cookie Monster is one of several iPhone 6s ads starring well-known celebrities, but it is the first to feature a character rather than an actor or athlete. Previous ads focusing on iPhone 6s features ranging from Live Photos to 3D Touch to the device's A9 processor have starred Jamie Foxx, Bill Hader, Jon Favreau, and Stephen Curry.

[Junipr]

If we backdoor his phone, we can see if it was he who stole the cookie from the cookie jar

 

[Roessnakhan]

Not sure they do that anymore - I've given them a lot of tips and never gotten credit

In other news - I'll echo the statement - there's NO way Siri would understand Cookie.

I really like this... funny, with good timing. The countdown at the end at only 13:10 or so was great.

Edit: Oh come on! Beat by a second!

We got your tip, but the post was already in progress when it came in. We keep a pretty close eye on YouTube

Haha, posted my comment, got a notification like five seconds after about yours.

Very funny ad. While I've always had a soft place for the Cookie Monster, this was a well made ad. More engaging than Jamie Foxx.

 

[countryside]

Haha, I love it.

Do it!

[zachlegomaniac]

If you send us a tip and it's the first we've gotten on a particular subject, we definitely do add a credit at the end of a post! We read all of the tips we get and very much appreciate when MR readers email us with something interesting.

sore throat... (very bad sore throat)

This is becoming ridiculous.. First we have Amazon Echo.... We started off with "Hey Siri" be used to plug in to power only for use.... That would of been better, but i guess there is a need for this when not plugged in...

Is there an actual different other than u don't need to press anything ?
