Apple releases two new iPhones ads, both taking aim at Verizon

It seems that Apple has followed up on their Song and Gift commercials with two more, except these latest seem to be taking direct aim at Verizon.

Or more specifically they are taking aim at something that the Verizon network is not capable of doing — allowing the user to make a call and surf the web at the same time. And for those unfamiliar, CDMA/EVDO networks such as Verizon (and Sprint) here in the US do not allow for voice and data to work simultaneously.

The ads are below so you can check them out now, but will begin airing on network television later tonight.

    These are good, but it would have been better to show a working mom, or a business man trying to juggle their calls and data, becoming ever more frazzled and stressed out.
