Can't mom just live in the moment instead of wanting to record it?
Maybe if you spent less time on the iPhone you wouldn't have thought you had killed your best friends pet.
'sad trombone' It was a fun ad, the mom was killing it on the sideline keeping up with the runners wanting to capture her son running a race. The point is the steady shot, not that she should be taking the moment in in person. Ha.
 
Disadvantage with action mode is the heavy cropping, which you don't get with a gimbal.
Very true, but the problem is you can’t always keep a gimbal in your pocket. For those little moments when you need it, it’s very handy.
 
So, Apple is mocking their own users using older iPhones that can't run iOS 16? (6s, SE 1, 7?)
They are showcasing what you can do with current technology. Users of older devices know what they have and are practical users most likely uninterested in the newer features. You can get a new device for nearly nothing with promos if they want a new one but many people just dont mind older phones. If their case is budget, yea, thats unfortunate.
 
Sometimes parents record because they want to relive the moment years later, or if they are recording for the other parent who couldn’t make it.
I record all these events for when I get old and feeble of mind so I can watch them and hopefully remember the good times as my brain slowly atrophies.

Also so I don't bug my wife to the point of divorce at age 80+ by asking "who was that?" "Did we ever go to..." "How many kids did we have?"

Action mode is insane. I held my iPhone 11 Pro and my 14 Pro side by side in my hands and sprinted down an alley way. The 11 pro was all over the place and the 14 looked like it was filmed on a smooth drone shot just gliding forward. It was incredible.
 
1) it's not that good as depicted in the commercial. 2) it's a huge crop and the quality is reduced greatly. Way oversold.

People would rather stare at their phones screen then reimagine things on their own.
 
I love this Action Mode ad!
Its actually new app that controls kids but needs consistent line of sight 😂

More funny ads please!
