Apple posts two new iPhone ads
Apple has posted two new iPhone ads tonight. Both ads seem to target Joe Average and spotlight situations we find ourselves in every day. The first, called "First Steps," targets moms and grandparents who want to show/never miss a single moment of the new tyke's life. The mom uses the iPhone 3GS to record her son's first steps, sends the video file as a MMS, and then starts a conference call with the grandparents to talk about the video. The ad ends with the mom saying "We would never have shared all that without the iPhone." The second ad is titled "On Hold" and presents a situation we're all too familiar with. A man calls 1-800-204-7450 and is put on hold (before you try, I already called the number. A voicemail answers that says "At the tone, please record your message." I didn't leave one). The man then checks his email, pays a credit card bill, buys Monopoly from the App Store, and plays the game -- all while on hold. As always, the apps spotlighted in the ads can be found here.
Apple posts new holiday iPhone ad
Apple has begun brodcasting a new holiday ad: 12 Apps of Xmas. Though it's not nearly as cool as past Christmas ads, it does spotlight some interesting apps, including one app (Schlage LiNK) that can light up a Christmas tree, at least when it's paired with the appropriate Z-Wave home automation module and the $12.99 monthly service plan [iTunes link]. Here's the lyrics to the new ad, so you can all sing along to the video below. On the twelfth day of Christmas my iPhone gave to me: 12 cookies cooking 11 cards a sending 10 gifts for giving 9 songs for singing 8 bells for ringing 7 slopes for skiing 6 games for playing 5 gold rings 4 hot lattes 3 flights home 2 feet of snow And an app that can light up the tree Apple has thoughtfully compiled an App Store page where you can see all the apps in the TV ads, although it may not be completely up to date. If you've identified one of your favorite apps in this ad, tell us about it in the comments below.
