New ‘We’ll Always’ iPad Ad Video and Featured App List

The latest Apple iPad ad has appeared, and although slightly sappy in places, is a far better effort than their previous hit and miss efforts.  The advert implies the iPad will integrate itself in our lives to the extent where it’ll replace everything from a pen-and-paper to the TV. While starting any sentence with ‘we’ll always’ [...]

New iPhone Ads Concentrate on iOS Features, Not iPhone 4

Have you heard?  There’s a new iPhone coming sometime soon!  But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy an iPhone 4, as according to Apple they’re still really great provided you’ve got friends with iPhones or iPads, or an Apple TV.  At least, that’s the message sent by this pair of new TV spots for the [...]

Apple’s Ad Team Get Their Mojo Back with ‘Now’, the Latest iPad 2 Spot

The last few iPad and iPhone TV commercials haven’t hit the spot for me.  I didn’t like the ‘If you don’t have an iPhone…‘ spots at all, and the ‘We believe‘ iPad 2 ads didn’t do much for me either.  The last ‘If you asked…‘ iPad 2 TV ad was better, but still a little [...]

Apple Debut New ‘If You Asked’ iPad 2 Ad

Apple’s latest TV advert for the iPad 2 has been released, and it’s another of the more abstract entries – in that it doesn’t really tell you what the tablet does, more what others think of it.  It’s a clever strategy too, as the people mentioned all have professional, aspirational jobs and clearly find uses [...]

New Apple TV Ads State the Obvious, and Look Smug While Saying It

“Yup, if you don’t have an iPhone, well, you don’t have an iPhone” says the Apple voiceover guy at the close of the company’s latest trio of television ads; which cover the App Store, iBooks and iTunes. In the recent past, Apple’s iPhone TV ad campaigns have used the endlessly parodied ‘there’s an app for that’ [...]

New ‘iPad is Iconic’ Ad Lands, Here are the Featured Apps

Apple have released another iPad TV advert, this time entitled ‘iPad is Iconic’.  While this may indeed be the case, this latest commercial isn’t as iconic as others, and perhaps doesn’t show the range of the iPad’s apps that others have.  Still, the tablet has been around for a while, and seeing as Apple fans [...]

Verizon’s iPhone Ad Missing One Important Thing…

Verizon have posted their first iPhone 4 TV advert online, and it doesn’t bother to show the phone at all.  After lots of people looking at clocks, there is a brief flash of the phone’s name on screen, and then it ends.  Verizon have been responsible for some great commercials over the last year or [...]

‘Tis the Season to Use FaceTime

Oh, Apple, you sentimental old thing!  What better way to celebrate Christmas than with FaceTime, the video call service available for iPhone users!  At least that’s the message we see in the latest Apple TV spot. You can see it below, but be warned, there is a heavy amount of schmaltz included, as good old dad [...]
