Apple Shares iPhone 14 Ad With Former NHL Stars P.K. Subban and Joe Thornton

[MacRumors]

Apple recently shared an iPhone 14 ad featuring former NHL stars P.K. Subban and Joe Thornton on its YouTube channel in Canada. In the video, the pair search for Subban's missing tooth on an outdoor ice hockey rink in the middle of the wilderness.

Using their iPhones as flashlights, they appear to find Subban's tooth, but it wasn't his tooth after all and they continue their long night of searching. The ad conveys that the search is made possible thanks to the iPhone 14 Plus having long battery life.

"Our longest battery life ever on iPhone 14 Plus — for when the hunt is on, and you need it the most," says Apple, in the video description. "Relax, it's iPhone."

Apple's tech specs say the iPhone 14 Plus lasts up to 26 hours for offline video playback, up to 20 hours for streaming video playback, and up to 100 hours for audio playback. For many tasks, the iPhone 14 Plus does have the longest battery life of any model ever, but Apple says the iPhone 14 Pro Max can last up to 29 hours for offline video playback, likely due to the device's power-efficient ProMotion display.

Subban and Thornton both retired from the NHL following the 2021-22 season.

Just in time for Valentine's

As a Canadian all that I can say is... is this the best Apple could do?
Canadian stereotypes?

As a hockey fan, I think it's nice to see the sport get some mainstream coverage for a change.

 

[Sean7512]

I love it, too bad it isn't airing in the US...hockey needs some serious love and exposure here.

Please let this be the first sign of Apple taking over from ESPN (Who will break away from Disney and can't afford the NHL Anymore, hopefully) and giving us all the Hockey games with no blackouts.

Nice commercial.

My 14 pro battery life is pretty terrible.

This is ironic seeing how 1) almost every phone comes with a flashlight these days and 2) battery life on my 14 running the latest version of 16.1 has been complete dog poo.

Could’ve used the flashlight and LIDAR to find the tooth

Good to see Thornton in the media with his pants on this time.

And Shirt. He goes shirtless a lot, at least when doing post game Sharks interviews when he was on the team.

Calling it "sharing an ad" sounds so fake and condescending, but I guess that suits Apple the best

 

[TVreporter]

Enjoyed the ad during the game - was not expecting it to be an Apple ad.

 

[svish]

Long battery life is always welcome. Expecting future iPhones to have even better battery life.

The title confused me too - I thought Apple was sharing the ad to these people, not sharing an ad featuring these people.

Let's hope it's a start for an NHL deal...

Yes, ESPN is clueless with hockey...they always have been.

That commercial was the perfect combination of hilarious and unsettling. Loved it.
