Apple Debuts Four New FaceTime Ads

Nice ads. Apple always knows how to do ads.

Hahaha, oh the bad acting.

...really?

the only thing that bugs me about facetime is the whole wi-fi thing, and i know that's been said a million times.
but you can video chat on a laptop/computer from your house,
doing it with iphone 4 is cool because it's portable. but still, if you can't do it on the go, it seems way less useful/cool.

you pretty much have to sit down and plan to facetime someone, rather than just do it. if you want to show someone something, you can't be like. oh hey, check this out. it's more like, hey man. are you in a wifi area? ok, get to one. now turn on your wifi. alright. now look at this.

actually think they are very striking ads. I haven't seen one on TV yet, but it seems like it would really catch your eye.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one with common sense!

wow, these are subtle

These are well filmed and full of emotion. Apple does well at creating and associating feelings.

BUT, I don't think FaceTime is the selling point of this phone. At least not for me.

i definitely think these ads will attract people to the phone.
especially those kind of people who are like "well just in case"
the same ones who buy a huge truck to hitch their boat that they plan to get and use all the time in the future. and also, the extra back seats for when they go camping all the time.
you know, just to have it. so they can technically use it for things they won't actually ever do.

but they keep doing the same kind of moments, like.
a baby?
going to college.
pretty much being there with a loved one when you are far away.
and at 'emotional' times.

they should do some more common uses, such as.
hey man, i'm at a concert. which t-shirt do you want me to get you?
what are the options?
i'll show you.
facetimeeeeeeeeeee.

I like how the AT&T end screen says the worlds largest WIFI network. Even AT&T itself is avoiding its terrible phone network.

I'm sorry, but these commercials are horrible. Are they really going to run these on television? The only decent one is the grandfather one. The rest are embarrassingly awful.
