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.

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...

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?

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...

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.

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. :angel:

All for the wrong reasons.
