just watching some tv and saw a iphone commercial that broke out of the "normal" format that apple has had since its release. It was basically an experience commercial with and iPhone owner talking about how he has used it in some situation.

Anyone else see this commercial? Do you think this approach is a good one? Could this commercial be a made by at&t? Any thoughts ...
 
Are you talking about the one with the guy who checked a wedding website to remember a name? That's the one I just watched.
 
I just saw the commercial. It had a guy talking about the visual voicemail feature. At the end it had the AT&T logo then showed the apple. (I saw it on FOX)
 
Here in the UK we don't get iPhone ads yet...hopefully this will be uploaded soon...
 
Ive seen 2 different ones today. This last one is a bit ridiculous if you ask me. This guy says "I used to carry my ipod, a camera, a phone, another phone to just to text message, thats 4 things. With the iPhone its 1 thing."

Come on now, how about a little bit of objectivity??? There are other phones out there that can do all that besides the iPhone. He really needed a separate phone just to text message?? He really carried his digital camera everywhere with him?? :rolleyes:
 
When the commercial came on, I really wasnt watching very closely, but towards the end, the device in the guy's hand didn't look like an iphone. (i may have just seen it wrong)

Exactly. The camera on the iPhone nice as far as phone cameras go, but its no match for any current stand alone digital cam.

Assuming he didn't have a 1MP camera.

I think you are overestimating consumer needs here. Sure, he may have had a 10MP camera or something. But, maybe he didn't need that much, or can't tell the difference. Some people are completely happy with their camera phones. Of course, I wouldn't ever replace my Nikon SLR with an iPhone, but for people who want snapshots quick and that look nice, the iPhone is fine.

I think it is very plausible that this person was a typical consumer and had no issues replacing his digi cam with an iPhone.

I think you are HIGHLY wrong. Ive never heard of anyone that takes all their pics with a camera phone. Most stand alones anymore, even the cheaper ones, are at least 4mp. The iPhone is nice to snap the occasional pic when you are on the go, but you cant seriously believe anyone is replacing a digital camera with the iPhone for their digi pics.

I know someone who doesn't own a digital camera and so he takes all his pictures with his phone.




So now you have heard of someone :p
 
Let us assume that these are real life situations experienced by actual consumers and not something made up by Apple and the consumer. If so, why are you people questioning those? That is as real as reality gets. ( And of course it is a commerical, it will be self-serving from Apple point of view which is par for a commercial.. it does not have to be objective )
 
Revolutionary Blue Collar iPhone Ad Runs On FOX Football Today

A completely new kind of iPhone ad appeared this morning on FOX during the Steelers-Seahawks football game during the third quarter. A very blue collar mechanic type guy talks to the camera about how he used to have to leave home with 5 different things and now only needs to remember his iPhone. I didn't get a recording. Did anyone? :eek:
 
yea ... Since I posted earlier this morning I've seen three different ones ..
 
The iphone camera is fine for normal use. I even took night pictures of fireworks over cinderella castle at disney world with it recently. Like Steve said recently at the London release, it's not all about megapixels for the best picture. I just saw a cnet review of a nikon coolpix 7 mp, and they were ragging on it, apparently even with 7 mp, it didnt take great pictures, citing things like they couldnt see detail in peoples shirts, etc. So I have a feeling the megapixel number isnt nearly the whole story with a camera.
 
A Second One On CBS Football Now Explains Visual Voice Mail

Just saw another one with an ordinary guy explaining how visual voice mail has changed his life. I'm calling them revolutionary because they are unlike any previous Apple ads I have ever seen - regular Joes endorsing high tech phone. Target audience - regular people not Apple Fanboys & girls.
