Apple Shares New 'Romeo and Juliet' Ad Highlighting the iPhone 7's Camera

[MacRumors]

Apple today shared a new iPhone 7 ad on its YouTube channel, which is designed to highlight the video recording features of Apple's latest device.

In the ad, entitled "Romeo and Juliet," two children are shown acting out Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in a realistic setting, with the camera panning out to show that it's actually a father recording a school play with the iPhone 7. A caption underneath the video reads "Your movies look like movies on iPhone 7."

The iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus both feature optical 12-megapixel high-speed sensors, new image signal processors, optical image stabilization, and wide color gamut, all features that have led to improved performance over previous-generation devices.

Today's iPhone 7 ad is the latest in a series of ads that have showcased iPhone 7 and 7 Plus features like waterproofing, improved battery life, the camera, and the iOS 10 operating system.

Put your phones down and actually watch your children do things in the present moment. Despite the likes, no one on facebook actually cares about what your kids are doing.

How about Apple stop making very human ads that make me tear up and spend more time making a Mac Pro that I won't buy.

wherefore art thou headphone jack..?

 

[efktd]

Mac...

 

[Appleaker]

Mac...

I really like the old style of ad. We rarely see them now because the whole marketing/advertising department is different.

Because the same departments are obviously involved in that.

Then again, Apple is driven by the marketing department so your comment may not be so off...

Apple, now delivering commercials AND products that make you cry.

No way that was shot on an iPhone. Oral we advertising! Lol. Seriously tho. Apple ads kinda suck now. That holiday one with Frankenstein has to be the WORST ad I've seen Apple ever do.

 

[desmond2046]

I don't believe it is shot by iPhone. I think this ad is very misleading.

Wherefore art thou courage?

I came from a Pixel XL (yes, really) to an iPhone 7+.

Marketing aside, the Pixel's camera is miles and miles better. It slays the 7 in low light.

The truth hurts, but believe you me....it's the truth.

I know "the 7 is more ~natural~". Yes, this is true, but the results of the Pixel are stuuupid good.

Before you say "why didn't you just keep the Pixel?!" I'll say I prefer iOS.

The 7+ just isn't good in low light. Just isn't.

 

[Wackery]

those were some of the fakest tears I've ever seen on an ad

 

[crunklejanken]

my boyfriend's iphone 7 absolutely does not record that good of quality in those lighting conditions. :/

god this is awful, i miss the old cute ads they used to have.

Huh... I thought that was Steve Jobs as the father there for a brief moment!

 

[dannyyankou]

wherefore art thou headphone jack..?

Where art thou AirPods?

 

[Bubba Satori]

I wonder if the shark ever gets tired of being jumped?

 

[iPad Air]

Meanwhile, in Cupertino, they are saying to themselves... "maybe these touching ads will shift the focus off the new MacBook Pro"...

They are doing what they are supposed to be doing, Thinking Different. lol.

wherefore art thou headphone jack..?

Actually, "wherefore" = "why". You may have already known that, but "Wherefore art thou no more?" would work better (although wouldn't be nearly as funny).

Where art thou AirPods?

"Thou" is singular, so "Where are ye?" (plural) would be how they would have said it, assuming they had AirPods several hundred years ago. We may still have to wait another few hundred years at this rate!

I agree with the sentiment and humor of both!

As a fan of olden English, it used to drive me crazy when in games or books they would use faux old-style grammar or expressions. I'm sure it's just about as much as some people hate posts pointing out language topics like this. If I've made a mistake though, at least someone can have the pleasure of correcting me!

Put your phones down and actually watch your children do things in the present moment. Despite the likes, no one on facebook actually cares about what your kids are doing.

It's not like someone might want to have a recording of their child's performance for themselves, and other family members, and the child him/herself. What a crazy unrealistic and unexpected idea. But then we all know too well that everyone realizes and understands that, even those who try to make it seem otherwise.

Nice pixel advertisement.

The 7 plus is amazing in low light, plus you don't get the extra telescopic zoom which has helped in more use cases than I anticipated.

Plus portrait mode is just awesome

 

[Wackery]

Nice advertisement, stick to the topic next time

the topic is the camera

Bigger battery Capulet
