Apple iPhone Teaser Ad Airs During Oscars [Updatex3]

[Matthew Yohe]

From Wikipedia:

"A third child, Nathaniel Jr., was born on June 26, 1776" - June 26th, 2007 is a Tuesday

Ahh.. that makes a little more sense in context... Okay you are saying that it's a possible release date... Yes that is a possibility.

Where in the holy land did you get that high res image?

 

[ariza910]

Great spot
reminds me of that first mac with the word HELLO in cursive on the screen,
also tying in movie scenes was great for the oscars.

Steve also used HELLO when he first announced the iMac.

only thing that bothered me was that nemo clown fish wall paper Apple keeps showing on the iPhone. it looks cool but there must be something better.

 

[Peace]

I take it that means you weren't recording the whole thing? Jeeze. It's freaking history. Well thanks for the excellent encode anyway. Looks great what you did get. You should describe your workflow in detail where you first posted it. I wish mine were that good.

I know man but I didnt expect it to be the first commercial..JEEZ!! 🙂

Lets see

ABC HD Comcast TV recorded with EyeTV 250 firewire > Quality set to high DVD
Exported as 1280X720P HD QT video .mov file

opened with QT Pro zoomed to half size and exported as a QT movie 44k 16bit audio.

Saved as a QT movie.

Opened it with QT and exported as mp4 640X360 H.264

6 megs file size.Not bad eh? Too bad I didnt get the first 2 seconds 😡

I suppose - just really having some fun with it. 😱

 

[Rocketman]

Umm.. There is no coincidence. Maybe you should get out more.

Also: They have already changed the splash on the phone in the commercial to show "AT&T"

But it's still 10:12am the day of the MW-07 🙂

The larger, better quicktimes are really choppy on a PB G4-867.

I like the discrete apple powerbook? placement with Sarah Jessica Parker or is that some IBM laptop?

 

[bigmc6000]

Dude - RELAX

Execllent encode but you chopped off Phone, Lucy, Gleason, Bogey and most of Brando Shots at the beginning. 🙁

4.5 Shots MISSING on a PERFECT HIGH DEFINITION ENCODE. What a freaking BUMMER! 😡

Considering you didn't even get to see the commercial on your TV you complain a lot...

Just be glad you get to see it at all. I wasn't about to watch that stupid show and inflate the egos of those people so thanks to all of those who could tolerate the stupidty for me!!!! 🙂

H.264 double-pass

Sweet! Thanks. Man what service. Not even an hour and I have the HD version! 😱 😎 😀 😀

 

[EagerDragon]

Did not care for it, too little information, not sure people would be interested to know what is coming in June.

 

[Telp]

Very nice! perfect for the Oscars!!

 

[WICKEDfour]

Wow, apparently Apple funded the Oscars...interesting to see what all they have their fingers in.

 

[LimeiBook86]

Also a note, when they break for commercial they said "Sponsered by Apple." and showed the text "Hello." 🙂

 

[Rocketman]

6:56pm Pacific there was a sign-out ad for Apple audible "brought to you by Apple" with visual Hello repeated.

Rocketman

Edit: Apple ad played AGAIN 6:58pm Pacific

 

[mazola]

Apple's making a phone?

Wtf?

 

[fireworks501]

Of note, it looks like they've subtlely adjusted their font.

 

[WICKEDfour]

The iPhone ad's playing again as this post is submitted! No sweat, though, it was the same one.

 

[clonenode]

Just ran AGAIN at 9:57!!!

 

[Karpfish]

wow i clicked this link then as I was looking at the screen I head Hello a billion times and it was the commercial.

 

[Butler Trumpet]

I was mad cause i missed it, then while I was reading this, I looked over and at the TV and it was on!

(My girlfriend is watching the oscars... not me)
haha

Pretty awesome, and so extremely apple huh?

 

[mongoos150]

Commercial just aired - fantastic. Pulling generations of the best "hellos" - made me smile. Apple has such a phenomenal way of marketing their products to be tied in with our pop culture/historical icons in a relevant way... Sets Apple apart from their competitors.

 

[Warbrain]

wow i clicked this link then as I was looking at the screen I head Hello a billion times and it was the commercial.

I had just looked at the image and then heard someone say Hello on my television and sure enough, it was on TV. I could care less as I've given up on getting an iPhone for the moment - too much money for me...I could buy the Cingular 3125 and an iPod for less than the price of the iPhone - but nonetheless, it's still nice to droll over it. I wonder if Mr. Gore worked a bit of magic...

Nice Commercial. Great Job Mac Rumors.

I thought the commercial was good, but even more impressive is MacRumors super-fast response. I have several rumor sites bookmarked, but MacRumors is #1.

 

[clonenode]

The fun part of the commercial is recognizing all of the actors, their characters and from what movie they come from (or show - Lucy and Gleason are TV).

I guess someone should start that list

 

[Vader]

Saw it on TV, had no clue it was an apple commercial until the end.
