Watching the Oscars tonight and paid half-attention to this one, until the end of the ad: Apple debuted its first TV ad for iPhone, launching in June here in U.S. The commercial was specially made for the Oscars telecast.
A description of the ad is here, and a video of the ad is here on Apple webite.
Staci adds: We’re running on a time delay here so just saw the ad. Nothing earth shattering — a couple of dozen TV and movie characters (actually 32 — some iconic; some animated) answering various phones with the word “Hello” and ending with a shot of the iPhone coming in June. Still, a good way to continue the buzz for something that doesn’t have regulatory approval yet. Rex Hammock has more.
