Jeff Daniels is a good choice for narration, and I like the first two ads. This type of ad actually works well for Apple. They've been using the same style since 1997 and it's become their signature.
I'm not crazy about the physics one (and it was a little weird they decided to start showing cover flow again).
As for the EarPods one, really? Apple seems to be mighty proud of their cheap earbuds most people will probably chunk anyway, but it's their money.

Am I the only one who kind of liked them? Its more of that basic "Here is the product" sort of deal, and "Here is the feature" that your probobly most interested in.
Now, when Apple starts releasing attack ads, then we know they jumped the shark. iPhone users SHOULD be better then to simply make fun of, or attack other people. Its been that way for years, and we shouldn't start resorting to such behavior now.

Tones2...because I just can't tell you enough how much I hate Apple (but I'm gonna keep spamming this forum anyway).
You know, because the ads from Samsung where they are *literally* making fun of Apple customers don't come across as pretentious at all. /sarcasm
I wouldn't call it burning them. I would call it 'acting butthurt over losing in court'
My favorite is either Thumbs or Physics. These ads are much classier than ones by other competitors.
By the way, I'm sure I wasn't the only one, but I submitted this.
Because Apple's superbowl Mac ads were soooooo classy.
Oh god. So bad.
Bring back the ones that play music and show people using the product like they have used for the past ~10 years.
Ug. So bad.

They come of a little cheeky, witty. Not obnoxious. Like classic Apple ads of yesteryear. Did we all forget Apples old ads during the Jeff Goldblum days? The thumbs ad particularly really reminded me of those old Apple ads. I love it. Very well done ads.
So these are the features Apple is going to use to attracts the consumers? Are they trying to talk about iPhone being the last phone on the market with panorama shots? Or the smallest "large" screen on the market? Perhaps people who really are concerned about their thumbs will be convinced...

These are the worst iPhone ads ever. But like some have said there are few selling points of the iPhone 5 that is different enough from the competition or the iPhone 4S. Ps. Worst narrator choice ever.
These ads are brilliant. Shows off the benefits of the new iPhone very well. Kudos to Apple and Chiat. The iPhone 5 truly is a marvel of engineering and quite possibly the most beautiful gadget I've ever owned so it's only fitting to have great commercials to showcase it.
Think these ads are punchy. Apple now seem to have a range of themes to suit their range of products - they don't have one style of ad. These iPhone and iPad ads focus on the features and use, the siri celeb ones were unexpected and leave you guessing who could be next and but the music product ads still have that funky vibe going on - loved the new 'popping' iPod ads.
Yeah, by insulting the very people who want to buy your product and by proving that they need to mention Apple, in any context, to draw attention to their device as opposed to selling it on it's own merits.
Regarding the ads though, I don't care for "Cheese" ... a little too annoying.
Huge Apple fan, but these ads aren't doing it for me, I see they are trying to explain the whole taller not wider with the first ad, the other ones cheesy not the ads we are used too
Steve wouldn't be proud
Steve wouldn't be proudI am pretty satisfied with these ads. Very classy and get to the point. Well done Apple!
What's the point? That iPhone comes with earbuds? Is it the only phone that does it? Then, most people, probably would prefer it did not for they would be better of by spending $30 on high quality earbuds.
