Apple posts iPhone 'Hello' ad



We posted about the iPhone ad which appeared last night during the Oscars, but it was no where to be found on Apple's website. Now you can enjoy the ad in glorious QuickTime (HD to boot).

I, for one, find it interesting that the word 'iPhone' appears no where in the ad.

They showed a bunch of clips from famous movie in the ad (Ex back to the future, Meet the Fockers ) does that mean they will be available in itunes?

here's a direct link to the "HD" version from apple: http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/iphone/hello/apple-hello_848x496.mov

(got this from piecing together the .js file that generates it at http://www.apple.com/iphone/scripts/hello.js which is referenced from the video playback page

The only thing I thought of when I saw the commercial was, "They renamed the iPhone to 'Hello'???"

As for the song featured in the ad — Eberg's "Inside Your Head" — I've posted a little more information and an mp3 link to it on my blog, Ground Chuck (http://www.charliefmoran.com/blogs/blogview.asp?blogID=23683).

looks like apple has made the switch from the cingular network to the at&t network branding. watch the hd version and stop the ad right before the "hello" text comes up. u see at&t next to the signal strength

I find it amazing that people can say this was a "great ad" or that it "builds up excitement". Just how exactly did it accomplish that? The only reason anyone would feel that way, is if they were already excited about the phone to begin with. Taking a bunch of clips from movies and mashing them together does not make a great ad.

Is it just me or is Apple simply no longer original? Do they credit Marclay for their iPhone ad?

The song on the advert is 'Inside your head' by Icelandic band 'Eberg'.

Regarding the name "iPod" in the ad: some of the current iPod (+iTunes, I suppose) ads don't include the name "iPod" either. (e.g. http://www.apple.com/itunes/ads/partycolor/).
