You could argue with the fit, as I still have issues, but they sound very good imo. Of course I'm not an audiophile snob that likes to pretend I'm hearing something different then everyone else.
Got a tip for us?

And I bet some people will have a field day with the physics ad and Apple's Maps.
Apple maps, where physics also don't apply. 2D houses, warped bridges, water flowing in the sky and locations under the sea level...

Well it wasn't 16x9 for years either. The iPad isn't 16x9. In my opinion, the only time you need true 16x9 is for watching video. I could put up with a little letterboxing or scaling during playback. Otherwise, a bit more pixels on the width would be nice.
I'm one of the fanboys in the first group. I own an iPhone 5 and will continue to buy apple products for the foreseeable future. I do feel that some of the magic has left Apple for me though, especially in the Keynotes and the terse emails from Steve.
What are u like 12 years old??? Actually samsung burned and shot themselves in the foot for potential customers. They are making more fun of the people than apple.
Certain that style will return head on when the iPad mini and new iPod line hits the deck sooner than later. Patience.
I'm glad to see the return of better advertisements from Apple!! I especially like "Thumb" and "Cheese" 
I've wondered about the audiophile people. Are there any scientific studies that say that they can actually discern little things in audio equipment that others can't? Or is it a placebo effect?
Wrong. Totally.
Could you be more pretentious? I can see this poster drinking his Cognac from a snifter as they wrote this. I had a custom set of Shure's and while Apples $29 ear pods can't stand up to a $700 set of Shure's they do a helluva job trying, and for the price... unbeatable. Way better than my buddys Beats.
I will say this though, EarPods are certainly better than the earbuds they replaced but they should not be $29. If you think these are amazing headphones you surely haven't used many.
So... you're opposed to change? I mean, shouldn't people be taking their products and then try to make them better? This is the result of that.
Think much?
I like the new ads. Take the high road Apple. Beat Shamdung with better products and a superior experience.
Oh yeah, got that right off. Loved The Newsroom! I can't believe we have to wait until June 2013 for the second season though....it's like SOA, and Sopranos there at the end.....WAY too much time between seasons and far too few episodes to even be called a "season".

I didn't mean to come across as pretentious, they are certainly far better than Beats or Bose which produce highly processed sound, $29 is a little steep.
Since when is a piece of hardware up against a piece of software? Clearly you haven't touched yet alone seen a iPhone 5 firsthand. Poor thing. Oh and PC world just posted its the FASTEST phone on the market. Doh!
Cut the map BS. Let's get back to reality should we?
Quote "In a graphics-specific processing test, iPhone 5 beat the S III and RAZR M by more than a factor of three." #
Even when Samsung pays people to stand in line, they will still only stand in line for an iPhone, not a Samsung.
Awesome ADS, especially liked the Thumb one
The Samsung Galaxy Thumb should be out momentarily.
These ads are very, very good. Perhaps the negativity people are expressing, the "I can't quite put my finger on it" feeling, may be stemming from the fact that these ads are not inspirational or experiential in nature. Compare these to the iPad ads, which are warm, fuzzy and leave you with a feeling that you are enriching your own humanity buy using the product.
The reason these ads are so effective, however, is because they very simply explain some of the iPhone 5's core strengths. If you want a condescending ad, go look at the Galaxy S3 ad depicting iPhone customers as sheep. What a great way to win over iPhone owners, right? The Thumbs ad is perfect and effectively counters the "bigger is better". The Physics ad had me laughing, but at the same time sent the clear message that the larger screen, lighter weight and thinner design are wins all around. The Panorama ad was classic Apple, funny in just the right places and relates a feature to something artistic. The exhaustion of the narrator as he says "cheeeeese" is a great touch, reminding us what an incredibly wide panorama the phone can take.
From an advertising perspective, these ads are wins.

That's Apple in a nutshell. They said 3.5'' were perfect for a phone before. Now it's 4'', and suddenly it's perfect as well. They just don't motivate their change, neither in these ads, or on the keynote. "You see more content", was all they said.
Apple simply can't be humble.
Two thumbs up for these ads.
You scared me I thought I had a bug on my screen.
thanks
