Oscars Used As Platform for First iPhone Ad

lucy_apple.jpg

Departing from trendy but faceless consumer lifestyle ads (Mac vs. PC campaign aside), Apple airs a nostalgic montage of scenes featuring familiar actors saying "Hello?" to the tune of Inside Your Head by Eberg - a good choice considering Steve Jobs' magnetic personality, cultish popularity and fondness for black turtlenecks does smack of creeptastic mind-control juju. Really. We dream about him whispering "Apple" to us at night.

The soul-thawing ad is Apple's first for the miraculous iPhone. It probably won't be the last of efforts to build the shiny do-all device into the grand culture before its appearance this summer. The spot appeared during last night's Oscars and played several times.

Thanks to Mac Rumors for the handy-dandy info.

The problem I see is that I do remember seeing the ad at least once last night, but until reading your post I could not tell you today who it was for.

While I love the idea of this iPhone, I know it will be too highly priced at first to find it's way into my purse. However, while viewing the commercial last night during the Oscars, I kept thinking how cool it would be to have those voices answering my phone for me.

Um, the iPhone is not white. It's mostly silver and black.

Yeah, Apple Phone works. Just like they did with Apple TV. Still,
they’re unlikely to change it now.
