Can't wait to see what the next iPhone can do
Indeed. But while they work through their own innovation slump, why not highlight some others' work?
Got a tip for us?

That was the most impressively mundane way to bring Samsung into the comments I've ever seen.
This sounds alot like trolling.
If you say Apple lacks innovation enough times does that make it true?
It's a pretty good ad, and I like the sentiment because I think most people have these powerful phones and only do basic tasks on them like Facebook, photos, and messaging. But they should spend more time fixing the App Store so that people don't need to be told in an ad what's in the store. The App Store continues to be the single-worst part of the Apple ecosystem.
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"
No not really, every iPhone can run these apps, it's more like ''Hey people your iPhone can do almost everything and you use it for taking selfies and watching funny cat videos''
Waiting to see this analysis!
Good commercial!
Wonder what app was used to "launch amateur rockets"?
Likely with some device.

There's a rocket launch app in the App Store? The only legitimate app this told me about was the heart rate monitor, which I don't see any use for anyway.

Hmm, I recognize some of the people in this ad.
Touché...the biggest ire I have with Apple software. "**** folders and files, just stay in our Eco-system and do things our way and it will be allllllll right"
You've read Mr. Jobs' emails before, punchy and thread ending. Why keep a chain going?
Being able to look for and attach a file to an email shouldn't be a privilege, and I hope it doesn't sound like I was defending the lack of ability to do so. Your comment just struck me as a little OT.
Hai. It's the fact that Apple invented the smart phone and software marketplaces, and therefore spurred an environment which lured developers to take advantage of the aforementioned to make money... but foremost, enabling us through powerful apps to make lives easier.
Yep, I lined up for the iPhone 5 and I'm going to line up for the iPhone 6. iSheep 4 life.

I appreciate having a place where I can identify an app I see in the commercial. I've often found myself searching the app store to find an app that I only know a screen image or icon.
Has no one found the name of the model rocket launching app?
Well, I thought I was a google pro, but I have been defeated. I just spent 30 minutes looking everywhere I could think of to find the name of the model rocket launching app shown on the commercial, but to no avail.
Has anyone else found out what it's called? Estes has a rocket app, but it doesn't launch rockets. There are a whole bunch of "rocket" and "launch" apps for the iPhone, but they don't have anything to do with the actual launching of model rockets.
Still looking, but wish that Apple would simply put out a list of names of apps that they feature in a nation-wide commercial.

The heart rate thing is clever but the social aspect of the app is weird.
I don't want people knowing what my heart rate is and then guess about what activities I'm doing to raise said rate...
While this works and I agree, this isn't the 1990's..... the email app is absolutely rubbish
