It does have that feel doesn't it. And you could be correct that these are from ATT and that could be part of why things seem a tad too perfect.

These are Apple commercials. Different carriers are shown depending on when the ad is shown.
Not as deceiving as Mac vs PC
but deceiving nonetheless. These ads create an impression that one can really have a conversation with Siri. The truth, of course, is that these 4 questions and a dozen words featured in the commercial is about all Siri can do. To create an illusion of a conversation the actors talk mostly to themselves. After receiving an answer from Siri (in real life they would not get any but that's another story) they say phrases not intended for Siri.

These are definitely Apple commercials, there's always a random carrier logo at the end. I saw this commercial twice tonight - one had an AT&T logo and the other had a Verizon logo.
Nope. It's in iOS 5.
Same with the Find my Friends integration (something someone on YouTube didn't seem to believe).
I asked "how's the traffic", and it shows me traffic using Google Maps.
I ask "where's my wife", and it uses Find my Friends to bring up my wife's location.
Assuming that everything Apple does is poorly received: welcome to the post-Jobs Macrumors.

They are Apple's.

They always say towards the end that certain sequences have been shortened or truncated. Sure enough, in this one near the end, at the bottom of the screen: "sequences shortened".
I can only imagine what Siri's replies would really be. Certainly nothing that would have made any sense. Where's Rick? Siri: Did you say find a stick? 
Dear Apple,
How about you make an ad for the iPhone 6 or New iPhone or what ever the heck you want to call it and put it on youtube "Accidentally"... Just like the lost iPhone 4 in that bar and the iPhone 4S accident where you did the exact same thing. Or you know you could leave it in a Starbucks this time. Mix it up a bit
Much Appreciated

When one moves an appointment in calendar and if it has an email of other party, Siri will send an updated info to that party. So, yes, it's possible. Just read the manual and utilize it the way it was desinged to be used.
Voice as a new interface has huge potential. Apple has yet to really get Siri to work the way we all envision it. Whom ever really cracks this egg will get a huge lead in the market. So far Google is applying the most force on the egg.
C'mon Apple, enough with the 4S ads!
Concentrate on getting that new iPhone you have in the pipeline in our hands ASAP!
Something tells me the new iPhone is not quite 'just around the corner' yet, but perhaps more like Sep-Oct. So this new ad might prop up lagging sales a bit. Those celebrity ads have been shown to work quite well!
