Apple Shares New Short Holiday Ads Promoting Apple Watch Series 3

[redheeler]

Apple's Recent Ads:

• iPhone X: 5
• Apple Watch: 4
• iPad Pro: 1
• Mac: 0

Apple has done its best to ensure the main way people find out about Macs is from news stories like the one about the root account validation bug, and then again when the fix for that bug introduces a new bug.

Pretty fun, to be honest!

Love my Apple watch. Ads are ok. Never would have thought I'd like wearing a watch.

Nothing wrong with this at all, I love the red dot, reminds me of my X's red beret she used to wear after dropping me and then persueing a career in Pottery at Liverpool college for the finest Arts.

Just received my Apple watch Ceramic series 3 and all I can say is wow it is a work of art like my gray 256GB I Phone X

You mean the watch that's more than 3X the cost of the same spec aluminum and virtually indistinguishable.

On top of which doesn't look better than the black stainless steel at less than 1/2 price.

Plus comes with the same cheap tacky rubber band as the aluminium. You give Apple an extra $900+ & they couldn't even upgrade you to a leather strap. Damn that's cold.

We call a sport that uses little foot to ball, “Football” and label a sport that uses the foot to ball exclusively, “Soccer”. We are not the sharpest knives in the drawer at times.

We have plenty of sports over here in the UK that have crazy names (cricket - that’s an insect)!

Someone was asking about AirPod bass - it’s pretty average however the cover fix improves things.

Could these 4 videos get any stupider?

I'm sure they could.. but their short luckily

Terrible ads as usual. Ever since Ahrendts has joined Apple, it's gone downhill.

She literally had nothing to do with these ads.

 

[CarpalMac]

I can tell you why — angry techies love to hate on popular and successful women. It’s a bizarre phenomenon but every since she was hired the war against her began. Modern day version of “No girls!” I’d guess.

Yes, because nobody ever said a bad word against the likes of Tim and Eddie, you know, men.

Stop trying to make it into something it isn't.

I’m really impressed by the latest watchOS and Apple Watch developments. But I still struggle to buy one as I expect some redesign with the next version. I really aim for a slightly thinner version. So in contrast to the overall discussions of whatever devices that raised the last years I think for the Apple Watch this is a valid point.

 

[smacrumon]

Unapologetically uninspiring.

I'm keen to hear what kind of ad you think Apple should be running.

What would you consider as inspirational?
[doublepost=1512231789][/doublepost]Cute 15 seconds ads are in vogue at Apple. And 15 seconds is probably the span of most audiences attention these days.

These for the win though for 30 seconds ads.

These here are some sweet switcher ads:

May not be the best ads, but soundtracks always on point!

 

[Leguna24]

Clearly it’s not selling well then.

*Restricted networks for cellular function

*Same old design

*Overpriced

I’ll wait for the redesigned larger screen, apps that actually work and advanced health monitors.

That’s a strange conclusion to come to.
Companies do advertise for successful products as well, you know?

Personally love the Apple Store redesigns and classes to be honest! I think it’s long overdue and the BEST that Apple can offer their customers and works with their retail products very well!!

Angela Ahrendts has zero contribution to Apples marketing team. She Is the senior vice President of the retail stores for Apple. Not Sure why you would even bring her into the equation of these Apple Watch advertisements.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Ahrendts

So you work at Apple and she reports to you right? So you’d know what her contributions are?! Do you even have a girlfriend, mother or sister? Do you listen to yourself with topics of women in power and financial independence?!


From the link: $73.1 million salary’s in 2014 for retail executive is just disgusting for anyone (Apple isn’t digging up gold out of the ground). This is salary not stock options!!

Spouse: Gregg Couch. I don’t like making fun of people’s names ever, yet with her income and his surname I think he can just lounge without a care financial independence gives you that luxury. Somehow I think like actors with professional stage names, this is similarly done.

Really, Timmy?

These ads are all stupid and cringe-worthy.

Imagine such ads under Steve Jobs' rule...
No, neither can I.

I’ll agree marketing seems to be for flash and millenials 10 second attention span.

We call a sport that uses little foot to ball, “Football” and label a sport that uses the foot to ball exclusively, “Soccer”. We are not the sharpest knives in the drawer at times.

Lol!


I can see the Apple Watch one day replacing the iPhone to an extent with A/R glasses. To a point since that connection would work great for dat consumption yet data entry would be too public unless some sort of glove or input method within A/R could be done privately. Apple has already begun with imbedded LTE chip and showing online consumption within music streaming. The local Watch App Store will be next.

Shouldn't that be "The Gift Of Swift"? Go is a language by Google.

Usually I like their ads, but not this time

I understand the need to keep the snowboarder in the frame but honestly that is a very poor example of how you should use a snowboard.
