Apple debuts first television ad for iPad mini (with video)

Saturday, November 3, 2012 · 12:02 pm · 11 Comments

Apple has begun airing their new iPad mini television commercial on U.S. broadcast and cable networks.

We first caught the ad on Thursday Night Football (American Football, November 1, San Diego Chargers victory over Kansas City Chiefs, 31-13).

More recently we’ve now seen it on network TV during prime time and also on U.S. cable outlets.

The ad was first shown publicly by Apple CEO Tim Cook at Apple’s October 23rd special media event:

Compare this to the all singing all dancing 1$ billion technicolor extravaganza put out by Microsoft.

Brilliance just doesn’t stop. So simple. They used all the advertising of the IPad 1 through 3 and said, iPad mini… ditto. nt

I have to say that this commercial is good on a number of levels. It show how much alike the two models are as well as how different they are. It is not complicated. It is a duet. The two models are not in conflict but compliment each other. It is a commercial that follow the KISS method of advertising. In case you are not familiar with KISS, it mean keep it simple s… I will be checking it out this week. Not as a replacement but to augment it.

What a great commercial, I keep replaying the video over & over. I wonder how long it will be before they release the complete version of this song done the iPad way?

One finger heart and soul. First thing one learns on the piano. Primitive. Like the product.
