Apple's bringing their A Game back. I like.

 

[Sky Blue]

good ad.

Can't wait to see what the next iPhone can do

 

[Parasprite]

Glad to see some WordLens love; It has so much potential.

I just realized that is spot is just a glorified version of "there's an app for that."

 

[shto]

Steve Jobs was saying something about this a long long time ago. I believe it went something like: Apple has a big marketing and advertising budget, but it is using it only for itself right now. How's about it would use it for promoting some of the apps made by developers...

So, great to see this, great to see Apple standing behind developers. Advertising their work.

This is one of the best ads I have seen from Apple since Steve passed, I want to see more like this.

Swing and miss. The point isn't the app store. Its what in the app store which average joe may not know about.

I still prefer your verse ads - I felt realy impress with it and it takes you think the iPad is more than a web surfing tavlet but these new iPhone ads are just like normal ads which you see and don't feel any emotion from - that what made the your verse very good!

So powerful that I still can't attach a document to an existing email chain.

The next iPhone ... REALLY — you mean what the new apps can do?

 

[thekeyring]

Ever since that 'Better' TV ad I feel like Apple has stepped back up to it's A Game. This is another great example of that.

My dox are all in my OneDrive, so can always copy a link to clipboard ^_^

Have you tried sending a document via new email and then copying the attachment? It's a bit round-about but works fine for other attachment types...

 

[Four oF NINE]

These look a bit better

 

[thejadedmonkey]

That's a really poor website.

It doesn't work on mobile, and due to the shadows across the phone it looked like a GS4, not a 5s!

 

[newyorksole]

The next iPhone ... REALLY — you mean what the new apps can do?

Powerful phone means there will be powerful apps... The better the API's and operating system, the better the apps...

 

[Abazigal]

Heart rate monitor as a $2 app? Timing is so convenient...

I'm aware of the workaround. Self described "powerful" tools shouldn't need workaround for something as basic as Reply All and insert document.

Yeah, when I come to think of it, tagging or naming a picture after I took it

 

[brianvictor7]

Great. Now I have a grungy refrain of "Gigantic" running through my head. Odd how they name this thing "Powerful" when few will ever remember by that name.

The imagery of the commercial was great. The selection of showcased apps was intriguing. Unfortunately, I must be getting too old to appreciate the music track.

Ain't that a fact!

Apple TV ads don't have a lot of brightness in them. They have dark backgrounds, generally low light, etc. Contrast that with Samsung TV ads. They're very bright. I kinda like bright.

Translation :

Apple : Please people, buy iPhone 5S's now , we need to run down stock before we announce the 6 and want to get as much money as we can for these before we have to sell them off "cheap"
