If you have to be told to watch out for an enemy turret, maybe you're not ready to be showing off on TV.

I like the gaming one. The reservation one was a little annoying.

Overall I've liked these ads. I think they're definitely more relatable to the average user than the "You're More Powerful Than You Think" ads, though I appreciate the message those were trying to convey.

I love them both. Great job! :apple: I love how the first one shows off how elegant the iPhone 6 is.
I love how the second one shows off different products. (AND it made me laugh!)

Yes, I couldn't agree more!

So tacky.. they must have had better options when reviewing the ads or at least I hope they did but some bonehead selected these two? :confused:

That bonehead could very well be Tim Cook and I agree, these are amongst the worst, most annoying ads I've ever seen. Plus they translate badly when reproduced in other languages which don't use recognizable actors to do them. Pathetic!

You can't get much worse than that. I hope. Cheesy, tacky, unoriginal. Show off the features - don't have two characters having a fake & stupid conversation with each other.

What a boring idea. If I want to look at the feature list there's the Apple website. I think you should re-examine your idea of 'unoriginal'.

I never played a MOBa until vain glory and it's actually super fun.

I agree so much, I never even play games on my phone ever, and i never have played Dota or LoL or any of those games, but Vainglory is so much fun on my Plus and im very suprised how well made and fluid this game is, everything, navigating the menus, the gameplay, it is truly console class game and is a fantastic game and i can't believe it is free eithe.

One game I was Ringo and literally carried my team on my back, I managed to steal enemy Kraken at the last second from the enemies as a last resort because our team was about to lose, and I managed to steal their Kraken and own the heroes and since it is late game, respawn timer takes alot longer to respawn and yeah we steam rolled their base and ended up winning, was great

Great game and graphics seriously

I don't mind them. At least they don't try to directly compare themselves to the competition (which also has the advantage that apple devices are by far the most displayed in any commercials, including Samsungs and Microsofts, since these think to have to show them as well :) ).

First one too indie for me but maybe for younger gamers?

2nd cute.

Both ok but not great.

----------

love the Malibu area code on the phone in the ads....I wonder who's number they are

The CA was a metro pcs from LA.
The 917 was Hyde Park NY.

I assume you are referring to the Get a Mac campaign. That was brilliant, way better than this lame campaign. How exactly was what they said fake? Everything they said was 100% true.... Windows was head pain and still is.

Well... See, Samsung and Microsoft?
It's totally okay making ads without stupid comparison!

Terrible. One of the worst ad series ever. The first one is only for nerds, and the second one... also. Nobody will buy two apple devices, paying 2000+ dollars, because you can phone from both (besides, it doesn't work: when I call from my 2012 iMac, nobody understands what I'm saying ... and there are delays).


Besides, if you use celibrities on a TV ad, you should show them as most people won't recognize their voices.

These ads are amazing. I really enjoyed them a lot. They are funny, informative and really underline the fact that the new iPhones are the best smartphones money can buy right now. I recommend everyone watch these and enjoy.
