Apple Releases Two New iPhone Ads: 'Share' and 'Travel'

Monday August 3, 2009 8:15 pm PDT by Eric Slivka
Apple today released two new iPhone commercials, now available on Apple's iPhone ad gallery. Similar to some previous iPhone commercials, the new ads each feature three App Store applications linked by a common theme.

Share: Focuses on the iPhone's ability to easily share data and engage in multiplayer gaming.


- Mover [App Store, Free] - allows users to share photos, text clippings, and other data with nearby iPhones by a simple flick of the finger.
- Bump [App Store, Free] - allows users to swap photos and contacts by bumping iPhones together.
- Scrabble [App Store, $4.99] - allows users to play the classic word game head-to-head via Wi-Fi or Facebook.

Travel: Demonstrates the iPhone's utility when traveling, highlighting a trip to Paris as an example to tie the three featured apps together.


- Rick Steves' Historic Paris Walk [App Store, $4.99] - provides users with an interactive, multimedia guided tour of historic Paris sites.
- Paris Metro 09 [App Store, $4.99] - offers an interactive map and route planner for major transportation systems in Paris.
- Postman [App Store, $0.99] - enables users to create custom digital postcards using their own photos or Google Maps photos, custom text, and themes, and send the postcards to others via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, and other services.

There are two new iPhone ads

The the ad "Share" I noticed that instead of showing AT&T 3G at the top of the iPhone it shows AT&T and WIFI.. I wonder why?

No need to be hostile... I'm just saying why did apple change that? It has nothing to do with my phone not working!

It could be because some or all of the apps are share via WiFi and not over 3G. Some apps are shareable via cell and other are just shareable via the same internet network/router. That could be why

ETA: Just downloaded MOVER which is only for wifi - it doesn't work via 3g

Damn. They sure are relying on the App Store for a majority of their apps these days. Makes you wonder how they even advertised the first year the iPhone was out.

Are you kidding? The iPhone was pretty much the most ad-friendly phone ever released. Multi-touch, real web browsing, and the iPod features interested pretty much everyone. Actually, since it was so new and unlike other phones that have been released, anything that was related to the iPhone interested most people.

I saw both ads on TV tonight while I was flipping through channels, though I only caught the last few seconds of each on TV. Aren't there three new ads, by the way?
