T-Mobile ad disses the iPhone 4S on AT&T’s network

by Christian Zibreg on May 9, 2012

As T-Mobile USA is getting ready to roll out an iPhone-compatible HSPA+ 19000 MHz network later this year (they already host more than a million iPhones on their network), the long overdue iPhone-friendly network expansion isn’t stopping them to take potshots at Apple’s smartphone and rival AT&T.

Their latest commercial, a part of the broader campaign dubbed ‘Alter Ego’, likens the speed of an iPhone 4S on the AT&T network to an ordinary motorcycle, which gets overtaken in a blink of a second by a badass 1000cc Ducati motorcycle…. Read More

 

Apple rolls out new iPhone, iPad in business websites

by Cody on Apr 23, 2012

When Apple first launched the iPhone back in 2007, it completely ignored the enterprise market. Heck, the handset didn’t even get exchange support until mid-2008.

But that’s definitely not the case now, as Apple’s smartphone has made great strides in enterprise over the last 5 years. And the company continues to push with its new ‘iOS in business’ websites… Read More

 

Samsung teaser for the upcoming Galaxy SIII likens iPhone users to iSheep

by Christian Zibreg on Apr 23, 2012

Apple’s frenemy Samsung is gearing up for the upcoming Mobile Unpacked 2012 event due May 3 in London. In order to pique interest, the company posted a new YouTube advert teasing its upcoming third-generation Galaxy smartphone.

The device is aimed at stealing the spotlight from Apple’s sixth-generation iPhone due later this year. As has been the case with Samsung’s advertising as of late, it subtly likens iPhone users to mindless sheep, but doesn’t refer them directly.

Instead, the clip wraps up with a line suggesting the Galaxy III smartphone helps one stand out from everyone else, spiced up with an image of sheep. As the iPhone is the iconic handset by the world’s top smartphone maker, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out to whom ‘everyone else’ refers to.

Watch the new iPad TV ad

by Jeff Benjamin on Mar 7, 2012

Well, the fireworks are over, but the fun stuff is just beginning. Like always, Apple has posted the very first TV spot for their new product on their website, and it promotes the iPad’s most compelling new feature.

Indeed, the Retina display plays front man in Apple’s new TV spot, as it should; it looks stunning. I think they did a really good job of showing off how incredible the display looks. Read More

Amazon goes on the offensive with new Kindle Fire ad

by Oliver Haslam on Feb 9, 2012

Amazon has gone on the offensive in the company’s battle for tablet supremacy by taking a price-powered swipe at its only real competition – the iPad.

The ad, which follows similar Kindle ads we have seen by showing a young lady in a bikini reading a book, shows both the new Kindle e-reader and the Android-powered Kindle Fire in use, while taking a stab at the iPad’s lofty price.

Needless to say Amazon’s iPad alternatives come up trumps in the new 30-second spot, with one poor chap finding himself shot down in more than one way when he approaches the woman in question… Read More

by Sebastien on Dec 18, 2011

Even though the feature is still in beta, Apple has been showcasing Siri in its TV ads since the iPhone 4S came out. The reason behind this is that Siri is probably the main selling point for Apple’s latest iPhone.

In a new TV ad that has started airing today, we see Santa Claus himself using Siri to help him go through his busy day and night. It’s cute. It’s funny. It’s yet another Apple commercial that hits right on target… Read More
