For some reason, these "feel" more like radio spots as opposed to TVCs... :/
so disappointing. one of the best gadgets ever with three of the most boring ads.
Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.
this is a product that doesn't need amazing creative.
The product itself is amazing creative, it sells itself.
Have to agree with Petrov. Since when is a great product demo a bad idea? If you have an iPhone, people want to play with it. Why? Because it has such an amazing interface and is packed with so many great features. That's what sells the thing. So why not show that?
Apple has always done this. Show the product. Let the product speak for itself. The one recent exception is all the colorful/people dancing iPod work. But that was a product that everyone understood. That was a product whose function was common knowledge. Once the iPod changed, however (new colors, touch, smaller size) the product again became the only focus.
These spots are completely in harmony with the Apple brand and make total strategic sense.
They're also boring.
