Apple Airs New AirPlay and FaceTime iPhone Ads

by

Tonight, Apple released two new iPhone commercials advertising AirPlay and FaceTime features of the iPhone 4.



The ads appear to be an extension of the "If you don't have an iPhone" campaign which started in March. This time the ads end with "just one more thing that makes an iPhone an iPhone."

I'll probably get rated down for this, but personally, for how amazingly creative Apple is known for being when it comes to their commercials, these ones are like polar opposite. To be honest it sounds like something Microsoft would do. "If you don't have..."

Apple's new iPhone ad tagline:

"If you don't have an iPhone, then you're a slave to Google."

:D

P.S - The girl running through the sprinkler is really cute...

Every time I see an Apple commercial, I get this weird, tingling feeling in my heart and I feel extremely happy. I believe in Apple more than I believe in Jesus. Apple stores are like church, the ads are the scriptures, and Steve is like the second coming.

Agreed! :P. Apple is truly magical.

Wow lol, and I thought I drank the kool-aid heavy. :rolleyes:

I love both of those features, but I'd love FaceTime even more if it worked over 3G!

I mean, lets face it. If apps on the app store are allowed to use 3G for video calling, then surely an app that comes with the device should be able to!

Why would apple release an iPhone ad if the iPhone 4S/5 is coming so soon?

Well these are software (iOS) features that aren't going anywhere, any time soon.

If you don't have an iPhone, you don't have facetime.BUT you have Skype. A far superior app, higher quality, more features, and it works on any device. But whatever, hardcore Apple fans still believe FaceTime is better somehow..
