Apple releases new iPhone Ad: "Shopper"


Following yesterday's "Concert" iPhone ad, Apple has released another ad called "Shopper." In "Concert," the ad featured a girl who was something of an impulse-buyer. The man in "Shopper" still likes to buy, but he's just got a little more self-control.

The ad begins with a man using Safari to search ProductWiki for an espresso maker as a gift for his wife. After doing "a little research," the man sends a text message to his wife's sister asking which color espresso maker his wife would like. After a terse Steve Jobs-esque answer of "Red," the man uses RedLaser ($1.99 in the App Store) to check to see if the espresso machine is cheaper anywhere else. The ad ends with the man exclaiming he's "a much smarter and faster shopper with his iPhone."

What have we learned? That shopping on the iPhone doesn't have to be all about the impulse buy.

Why do you hope that? Do you have a vested interest in the matter?

Target is one of Apple's biggest retail partners, and has been for a long time.

I wish they used ShopSavvy instead RedLaser.
I guess because ShopSavvy is free Apple would not make any money advertising it.

So the girl is an impulse buyer who doesn't understand how her phone works and obeys its every command while the guy is a smart shopper whose wife's big concern is the color of the espresso maker. Just so we're clear.

On the other hand, the girl got her apps for free while the guy paid two bucks (and surely there's a free app that does that; there are several for Android, there must be several several for the iPhone).
