I actually thought the ad was pretty good. I think JL has a good personality for commercials like that. It was a 'feel-good' pop and I think it accomplished that. As for being a 'traitor', actors act. It's what they do. Just like managers or sales people, they'll go where they have opportunity and where they get the best remuneration. If we see him or the "Can you hear me now?" guy as traitors, it's only because we allowed ourselves to imagine their loyalties as extending beyond a paycheck.
Regarding the phone, I have some Huawei equipment that I use in Central America where Apple hasn't made much of an official presence yet, and it's okay. I'd say that in order to make an impact in the USA, they're going to really have to ramp up their quality and service from what I've experienced.

Probably not very given you would be comparing an operating system with a hardware system.
I recall that I read something about huawei devices secretly sending all user's data every 72 hours to some Chinese servers without asking any authorisation from user. I hope they have upgraded their software to send the data more often. 
Remember when everybody said the chinese Xiaomi brand was the iphone-killer? yyyyeaaaahhh.... Guess this one is next.
I said because the primary flagship competitor to the iPhone changes more often, although right now it would probably be the Pixel. Even if it was Android vs iPhone, the comparison would be software as well as exclusive hardware features meaning not just Android vs iOS. Mac vs PC ads did the same thing.
I am not certain why these manufactures just don't provide the under an option for vanilla Android, it better compared to any of the available flavours. Why waste your times and resources to put lipstick when vanilla works best. Focus on the hardware and integrating other useful features rather than reinvent what works best. Would save these companies money and time. I just do not get it. If you do not want something to look like others then create your own mobile OS.
I completely agree. The best implementation is one that matches the style of stock android and follows material design. Samsungs have always been awful in their appearance, complexity, and performance but are improving, along with other Android skins. I think a while ago it made sense and it's what people wanted, but in recent years that hasn't been the case.
And Lord help me I always thought the PC guy was cuter anyway even though I did like Macs. lol--nerd chic.
