Apple today shared another short iPhone 6s video, this time starring actor and director Jon Favreau. In the "On the Set" video, Favreau is directing a gymnastic sequence and uses the hands-free always-on "Hey Siri" feature to ask Siri to bring up pictures of flying squirrels.
The iPhone 6s is here, and the only thing that's changed with Siri is everything. Because now you just say "Hey Siri" and Siri's there, hands-free. Which can come in handy.
Today's ad starring Jon Favreau is the latest in a series of iPhone 6s ads that have featured celebrities and sports figures like Jamie Foxx, Stephen Curry, and Bill Hader using the various features of Apple's latest flagship device.
The video also comes one day after Apple shared two other iPhone 6s ads, focusing on the Hey Siri feature and the iPhone's powerful A9 processor. All of the ads are part of a campaign that uses the tagline "The only thing that's changed is everything."

One year Apple was selling 100 million iPhones a year. The next year they were selling 150 million iPhones a year. Then the following year they were selling 200 million iPhones a year.The record breaking days _will be ending_
It's Impossible, (yes I said impossible) to keep a streak alive forever.
The day that Happens, the Life will be sucked out of Apple.
Reaching for their life saving bag of cash they'll make a recovery, yet suffer a concussion so severe they'll never be the same again.
Don't believe it? You have no choice but to wait and witness it.
You're right though... iPhone growth will surely stop.... but iPhone sales will continue.
If Apple can sell somewhere between 200-250 million iPhones a year (which I have no doubt they can do) and they have an ASP of over $600 (which is normal for Apple... they don't do cheap) then I don't see what the problem is.
There are some companies who barely sell 20 million smartphones... and LOSE money on each one!
Aren't they the ones you should be worried about?
But yes... there will be a time when Apple fails to break their own sales record. So they'll just have to settle for selling a huge amount of phones with large profit margins.
Oh the horror ;)
Keep digging Apple, it's going to be a rugged road this selling season.
No, it will be record-breaking.Brace Yourself!
