Hi, it's Courtney BarNett.

The ads are set to the music "Never Tear Us Apart", as sung by Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barrett.
So clearly you are gay and you are taking this conversation personally?

No mate... I stated the facts that you so conveniently missed out on saying.
Yes, it's a bad deal. A very bad deal. We must re-negotiate this very bad deal. Believe me! We need to make a better deal.
The only thing offensive is the remake of the song. Good grief. Terrible.
They show that the iPhone X can record AMAZING QUALITY video, which is quite unique for a phone.
As a gay guy, I’d be perfectly fine with never getting married if it weren't for the fact that in most countries, there are state and government benefits tied to it. Taxes, hospital visitation rights, etc. Benefits that should really be bestowed to any couple, no matter the religion or institution.
That said, congrats to Australia. I really wish we had public, nationwide referendums on social issues here in the US like they do in other countries. Instead, it’s done on a state-by-state basis because of states’ rights.
Also, nice ads.

That is literally what it is. Lol.
[doublepost=1519609889][/doublepost]I like how the only time Apple ever shows white couples is in an ad celebrating gay marriage.
Their go-to move is showing black men with white women draped all over them, no matter how statistically ridiculous.
Guess it's still progressive for whites to date each other... as long as they are gay... and never procreate.

It sucks that this needs to be labeled "political" just because there are forum members who will lose their **** when they see a gay couple in an ad. Ugh.

Yeah, I guess we'll have to leave that to every. single. other. company. on. the. planet.
Cry me a river.

States’ rights are what can keep America free, despite the ever encroaching federal government. The Swiss government model is not dissimilar, and I’ve never heard of that being criticized.

The microaggressions detected in wording throughout this thread are the reason it's still defined as political.
Marriage:
generally accepted that the success rate is 50%. Quite remarkable actually. That means half the married population has found their life partner. Just how you see a situation as half empty or half full. Be careful out there, a lot of married life is NOT romance.
Divorce:
Colorado has had same sex marriage on the state level and than on the federal level for some time. Marriage and Divorce records are public so its simple arithmetic. Studies were done saying the same sex marriages are having a slightly lower divorce rate. Go figure because hetro couples have the children as a distraction.
-Unless you are in an intimate relationship it is none of your business.
-There was a whole generation worth of gold star gay culture out there. Just starting to see the term gay less used.
-all of this is difficult to measure as the population is small, 4-6%??

The music in these commercials puts me to sleep. All the Apple commercials lately use the "super subdued" approach, such as that Christmas dancing one. At least the HomePod commercials had a little liveliness.
I really miss the old iPod commercials. Oh well, I'm old.

Has anyone wondered just how they did that with all the shallow depth of field and so on? That's impossible with just the phone itself.
According to Wikipedia, in 2017, "7% of Americans identified as homosexual, 4% as bisexual, and 1% as other"... and I imagine that number is actually quite a bit higher, since there are still so many areas across the country where people are afraid to come out of the closet. I bet we'll see those numbers rise more and more over the coming years
So why do you care, mate?

I wondered. Can you use portrait mode in video or just the 2x lens?
[doublepost=1519679888][/doublepost]
Micro? They're about as subtle as a sledgehammer wrapped in gun cloth.
[doublepost=1519680570][/doublepost]
Opinions are more important than facts aren't the they?
Not at all impossible. Use the 2x lens, get close to your subject and you’ll get DOF.
Not like that ad, there's no way. In the ad Apple said they used 3rd party accessories. I wonder what...
I know, right? It's so awesome that states were on the path to legalizing gay marriage everywhere, so the federal government just went ahead and legalized it nationwide! Hooray for states' rights and the feds helping them along!
Getting back on topic, if not hardware, would some third party app be able to do this or would Apple load their own variant of iOS for promotional material? I don't use an iPhone myself, but third party apps and tools exist that go above and beyond what the native features of the Phone can do, and it does make a huge difference.
My knowledge in cameras only relate to DSLRs. I use my phone camera as a point and shoot and edit on the computer if I'm getting something printed. Outside of some simple third party stuff, I'm not completely sure how advanced these apps are.
Even in the US put your mind to it an you can drive across country in a day or two.
ignorance is bliss. Your not, never will be; free.
there are aspects to life you want consistent in the country you live in. 4example; a employment related move to a new state and find out your not married there.
Some regions of the country need help from time to time. Alabama was the last state in the country to overturn its ban on interracial marriage.
