New iPhone 7 Ad Alludes to Dual Cameras, Stereo Sound, and Water Resistance

[mrbusiness]

Anyone else expect, upon finishing this ad, their phone to ring and a creepy voice to whisper, "Seven days."?

 

[bnekic]

Great ad, I love it. Definitely something different coming from Apple's marketing team.

 

[MistrSynistr]

This is a fantastic ad.

 

[windywalks]

Started out creepy, Hannibalesque even.

Unlike Samsung, you can leave it at home and fear for your family's safety.

The earlier commercials were of the Galaxy S7, not Note 7.

Still, up voted because the N7 is the new Christine. Piss her off and she'll kill you.

Stereo Sound. Yay... like in the 60s with the heavy panning. What a feature.

Agreed. A welcome feature, except to those that prefer mono.

 

[coolfactor]

Anyone else reminded by this?

Apple's is way better though!

Aye. That's too similar. Shame on Apple?

I love this ad, something different coming from apple.

.. AND ON 9/16/16, YOU'LL SEE WHY 1984 WON'T BE LIKE "1984"--

Oh, wrong ad. Sorry.

This type of ad is born out of necessity. There is nothing physically distinguishing about the new iPhone 7, and nothing really new or unique in the basic way it functions from the 2007 iPhone. Showing us the phone isn't going to make anyone want to buy it. So they have to shroud it in mystery.

People like you make my head want to explode. I guess we can say cars and televisions also offer nothing really new in the basic way they function from 1950.

Love the new ad but have to admit that it's does have more than a passing resemblance to that Samsung ad.

People are so negative, this is a visually appealing ad. Dark Phones Dark theme. Also to say this isn't Apple is false.
How we easily forget.

I don't remember seeing that.. And now I inexplicably want a 5S. XD

"My God - it's full of stars...."

 

[chiguimania]

This ad is less Apple and more like MTV... doesn't reflect Apple's brand personality at all.

 

[AgentAnonymous]

It does emphasize your capacity to whine about it and expect people to applaud you for your "originality".

Would be no need to whine if Apple didn't screw up.

 

[Keirasplace]

They would have been better off highlighting the lines of the jet black with awesome music.. similar to the apple watch launch video.. Beauty speaks for itself.

The main selling point is the camera and waterproofing

Would be no need to whine if Apple didn't screw up.

Again whining. Go back to your little horrible reality.

At this point you're the only one whining. The irony.

departure is right..

I like the owl.

I prefer quality stereo headphones that I can plug straight in to wimpy built in stereo speakers.

So get a set of quality lightning stereo headphones and plug them straight in.

The wimpy built in stereo speakers are handy when more than one person is listening. With two listeners, you could each take one earpiece (though you lose the stereo and both wouldn't hear exactly the same thing). With three listeners, even the highest quality wired stereo headphones would leave one person out.

I've held conference calls with 5 people listening so far on either iPads or iPhones. Stereo speakers is gimmicky on a phone.

As for lightening headphones. No thanks. I paid a premium for both my iPhone and Jack-wired Sennheisers.
I expect a decent DAC to come with the iPhone and not have to fork out double for the same headphones, just because Apple is now outboarding functionality.

Guess you worship at the Apple temple and agree with every move they make, eh ?

You guess wrong. I am an atheist.

I thought the advert was horrible. I miss the old style apple adverts.
