Meh, they're okay. Not great, but not horrible.

Well I can't say that the gaming one was anything special but you can't deny that making calls from the iPad and the Mac isn't epic. None of the other competitors have anything close to that.

Is it bad that I actually chuckled with the second one? I just wish that Continuity would actually work as advertised, but sadly it still has a ton of bugs.

I have both an iMac and iPad and iPhone 6+. Continuity works perfectly between the three of them. I've never had any issues.
 
I think these ads are awful. The fascinating thing to me is how two dudes being silly are going to cause soccer moms everywhere to buy these.
 
Lol at the people saying these ads are terrible. Funny how this forum will praise Microsoft's ads for touting thier Surface having a USB port and a kickstand as if it's some innovative feature. :rolleyes:

Well then that defeats your argument saying these ads are terrible. The point of an advertisement is the sell the product is it not? .:cool:

Some might suggest that being locked into Windows is terrible, but that's also a tactic that sells product.

Frankly, I want something uplifting or inspiring from Apple, not listening to two idiots. One more reason to cancel cable this season, I suppose.

Cancel cable over an ad? Good gracious. Advertisements are not just there to entertain you, they are to make sales (which is really the sole point) just like you said would happen with soccer moms.
 
Are these from Media Arts Lab? Wish they'd do something more akin to "Stickers" again.

The strategy's fine if not a little tired but I'm not a fan of the dialogue (and I like Jimmy Fallon).
 
The continuity ad was pretty funny. Plus it's nice to see them advertise features like this.
 
"You will never get a reservation, never" LOL!

Bottom Line here! Apple doesn't have to advertise. But what ever!
 
Are they supposed to be funny? Didn't make me laugh.

I like the kickstand and keyboard on the Surface. Makes it more comfortable to use.
 
The french one...

Oh my God... the man is just like my roommates!

My roommate is from Venezuela and he married this girl from France who has just that temper! She complains when she enter the apartment until she falls to sleep and then when she wakes up she keeps going until she leaves. She normally says "I hate you, you are disgusting" over and over again to her now husband. And he tells me... bah... all women are complicated... what? I had several girlfriends, even lived together twice and one told me once... silly.

Any way... it seems people from France has that reputation.

Those ads are just horrible. The first was just a jumble of chat that went in one ear and out the other, and the second was just a mess of information that no sane person could possibly understand.

Heck, I use continuity and handoff on a daily basis and I'm still not sure what was going on in that second ad. I have no intention of watching it again to find out, either.

you must be a gamer. nothing they said in the first ad was supposed to make sense (it was all 'niche' RPG-talk). the second one merely mentioned you can call people from any device now. was it the fake 'reservation for a table' that threw you off..? :rolleyes:
 
Good or Bad? It don't matter...

I think some of you just hate ... well ... everything.

So long as you're talking about them, they achieved their aim.

Much better than being ignored, Microsoft and Samsung?

I love the Microsoft Surface ad comparing the Air to it. The one item they "forgot" to compare was Sales ;)

Where's my 5.5" iPod guys? THAT'S a game machine that you forgot to make this year :(

Not buying the lame arsed iPad mini - holding out you will announce a bigger iPod screen once phone supply catches up to demand. Perhaps Samsung could give away all those 4 million excess S5's they have sitting around for us to use in the meantime...
 
I don't have any reservations against these ads. I think they are funny. Too bad they are going to be ruined when synchronized to German. Subtitles! Apple you got to use them.
