Apple Runs New Ad Focusing on the iPhone's Camera

Spot on, you can have as high a megapixel as you want, but if you have a rubbish sensor, then it makes no difference, you're still going to get poor photos.
WWDC is still reasonably far away. Not to mention whatever new iPhone they announce will likely not go on sale right away (based on every year since the first iPhone was announced). Most people don't follow the rumors, why would apple stop advertising to them?
Just out of curiosity: Is there such a page as "SamsungRumors"? I'm sure some people would have more fun there...
I was at some Android site the other day...I didn't stay long, but all the articles I saw were about iOS.

It's no' what they've said in the ad...it's what they've no' said.
In other words ...nae new ideas at a'!
Aye! We're all doomed. Doomed! Doomed I tell ye ...doomed!
For proof ...check out the above link!

You know this ad wasn't for you, right? Not hating or anything, but you have to keep in mind that as a pro, you aren't the target. It's for those out and around capturing an unexpected moment. The ad is promoting that moment and tying it to the product, not about which camera is best on vacation.
I've no idea what you are talking about, that is the work of an imposter, probably driven crazy by pop music and soda.
Take a deep breath and relax. It's called an observation.
Apple loves pushing the black/white interracial couple angle in a lot of their ads. It's done deliberately and it comes off as corny and artificial. That interracial thanksgiving commercial still makes me laugh.
I don't think anyone would argue an iPhone could replace a (D)SLR; I think the commercial shows that the phone is great when you want to take spontaneous snap of life...
Our iPhones did for the most part replace our DSLR, because of simple logistics. The phones are always with us, they don't require anything to carry them other than our clothes (i.e., bags, straps), they allow some options not typically available in a camera-only type device ("instant" backup, sharing, quick edits, tagging, etc.)
I busted out the Nikon for our Christmas photo, but before that it had been months and months since we last used it. We're headed down to Universal for a few days, we go 2-3 times a year, and with a 5 year old there's endless photo opps, but we've never thought twice about lugging the DSLR. We've even had a few printed/framed and they're outstanding.
I agree. I was down in Orlando for the first time last year back in June. Went to visit Disney and was happy I didn't have to lug around a larger camera. I always wanted a DSLR but that feeling is beginning to wane...
Actually, Nike cranks out some pretty damn good ads.
Here's a great ad that doesn't have any speaking at all.
They've got plenty of great ads.
Not really. It simply implies that Apple has sold a lot of iPhones and people carry their phones everywhere. Because they carry it everywhere, they have a camera available. They don't carry the phone b/c of the camera, they have a camera b/c it's built into the phone.
And Nikon/Cannon need to wake up. Phone camera's are killing their compact camera sales. Their message needs to be take BETTER photos than the iPhone.
And to be honest, I've seen very few phone camera photo's that are worth looking at. Most of them are blurry, grainy, and out of focus. Yes you "CAN" get good photos, but you'll get better ones with a dedicated camera. People have low standards when it comes to media.
Would be true if iPhones were the most sold smartphones in the world but they aren't Samsung phones are. Suggesting there are people who don't trust those Samsung phones for pictures...or there are people who use iPhones to shoot even though they have other smartphones in their possession.
Different interpretations for different eyes i guess. *shrug*
