Apple Debuts New Ads 'Huge' and 'Cameras' Starring Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake

My Asus phone does. It's a bit different where instead of making the top icons within reach, it shrinks the entire screen to a smaller size. So you still see all the screen elements, just in a simulated window mode. It's call one-hand mode.
For my 6" phone I have a choice of 4.3", 4.5", and 4.7" screen sizes. Quite nifty for me, but a lot of people I've showed it to think it's pointless.
Recognizable voices?Fallon and JT sound similar. A certain segment of society might be able to pick out Fallon's voice but who knows what JT's speaking voice sounds like? James Earl Jones, Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, Patrick Stewart, Samuel L. Jackson... those are recognizable voices.
Actually, people that would be the target for those ads (people under 30), recognize JT voice. Just like they'd recognize Rihanna's voice or Taylor Swift's voice. I'm 47 and I recognize the voices of all those people very easily. Fallon strangely is the one I recognize the least.
If they'd used Freeman, they'd have to put him as god told you people to buy a Iphone...
I like 'Cameras,' but I'm not really a fan of 'Huge."
I'd like to see more ads in the style of the 2012 Retina MBP ad. Beautiful and simple.

I get the sense from these that Apple is a little peeved about having the market push them (into making a bigger phone) rather than before, when they pushed the market.
They're not enthusiastic about a product they were forced to make to play catch-up and it shows in the design (which, hardware-wise, added NOTHING except largeness), showed in the keynote, and shows in their commercials.
I especially like the lyrics "I want to touch you" as the finger pressed the TouchID sensor. Smooth.
TouchID is easily my favorite feature on my iPhone 5S... and I look forward to using it on every new iPhone for the foreseeable future. (and hopefully iPads too)
Some other phones have fingerprint scanners... but their reviews aren't that great. I'd rather see those companies focus on fingerprint scanners instead of adding other questionable features.
I don't think Samsung has ever featured their fingerprint scanner in a commercial... and I think I know why. Their implementation just isn't as slick as Apple's implementation.
The iPhone is often mocked for "missing" certain features. But I think Apple got one thing right with TouchID.
Lol really? You can not like someone but to say he's piggybacking off another's coolness is hilarious!! The guy has the #1 show in his time slot so he doesn't need JT to be "cool". You want to bring a guy back that has pretty much dropped off the map and you're worried about Fallon's "coolness"? Ummmmmmm ok.
What? Guess you missed all the flashy, multi colored, spastic commercials of just a year or two ago....... View some are watching completely different ads than I do.
I've never really been a fan of apple's commercial and think the people that whine about them are the best part of the ads.
Was this sentence supposed to make any sense? Bantering is something you do, not have, like an ice-cream cone.
On the Note 3 you can shrink the screen by swiping in from the right then swiping back out
I didn't say he's not successful or popular but he is not "hip" or even close to the type of appeal Timberlake has with the masses, particularly the younger demographic. He associates with these younger acts a lot (as do many others in the business) in order to stay fresh and relevant. Without JT, he's just another late night talk show host.
As for bringing back Justin Long...yeah, in my book, he's a lot more tolerable and likable than Fallon.
