Numberzz Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 During football season, there is only one thing that is certain. New iPhone ads. There are three new ads, starring Doug, Elliot and Stephano. All of these ads are using everyone's favorite "switch" style that Apple uses on Mac ads. In these ads, either Doug, Elliot, or Stephano are standing in black, and talk about how the iPhone changed their lives, and then walk away to what they were doing before. It looks sort of like an interview. Full Story Link to the New Ads Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65754-new-iphone-ads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdshft Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I just saw one of these new commercials, and I have to say, I am disgusted. "I just wanna grab my wallet, my iPhone and my keys and jam." What the hell? No thanks. Not enough of Apple's superiority megacomplex is there...

Mebster Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Doug “Mankind”: "One of the greatest advancements in the history of mankind, without question (skip) visual voice-mail" They made him sound like a complete idiot the way they edited it. Actually he probably is a bit of an idiot if he actually used "greatest advancements in the history of mankind". How many people would consider visual voicemail to be a that. Maybe the cellphone it self? Or at the very least (keeping with cellphones here) voicemail itself. Or how about electricity?

rollcage Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 <snipped> I don't think they're as interesting as most Apple commercials have been in the past. They should have silhouettes of people dancing around checking email and browsing their voice mail But I guess I'm sort of glad Stephano doesn't have to carry a man purse around anymore...

sponkemonke Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 This is just horrible. Apple has been making these great ads thenthey go back and making a boring version of the switch campaign. Sorry Steve but I just have to hate your ads. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65754-new-iphone-ads/#findComment-465789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aNILEator Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 lol he carried around 2 phones 1 for calling 1 for texting and email. what an idiot. As far as I'm aware all major phones that have ever been able to text have also been able to call people. I bet he loves the Resolution on his iPhone photos compared to his specifically designed camera. Apple's editing skills are at an all time low here.
