The latest Apple iPhone 4 commercial is now running on U.S broadcast and cable networks. The ad focuses on the fact that the revolutionary iPhone is now on available on both Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility.
YouTuber “DoctoriTouch” has posted it online:
MacDailyNews Take: Poor Eric T. Mole, now locked away in his tower, having to watch his pretend iPhone OS’s mindshare uncontrollably bleed away.

Verizon iPhone, billion app downloads, Chinese retail stores + Chinese demand, new iPad looming, new MacBooks in April, next gen iPhone after that, and on and on. All the pipsqueaks trying to spin Jobs’ health into a disaster story will be drowned out by this company’s continuing performance. Whatever happens with Steve, and we hope it’s the best, he’s built a brilliant, visionary management team with the same obsession he planned the products.
Still waiting till summer
It is reasonable the displacement of Schmidt at the top of Google signals the end of Google’s run to resurrect Schmidt and his legacy as a third OS provider (ie, Novell) and a return of their focus to the ad space as originally envisioned by Brin and Page.
We should not casually dismiss the disruptive effect the free Andoid OS had upon the derivative device manufacturers drawing them away from the licensing of windows mobile. Serendipity? Not.
I’m just glad they aren’t using the same dinky music as before.
So true, Cubert.
Oh well, no white iPhone at Verizon…
Coulda been ebony and ivory
😀
@Lilochris
For half the world, it is already summer.
@ Cubert,
I really dislike the word “dinky”. It makes me feel so…. so…. inadequate!
Now if only iPhone 4 x 4 would happen: ad Sprint and especially T-Mobile to the mix.
Why does the Verizon phone show 3G icon on top
Is Apple suggesting we each get one of each?

How’s Ballmer doing with his mobile plans? I l-l-like our strategy, I like it a lot”
Hey RIMM and Google, HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!
75% of the RIMM and Android sales in the USA just became roadkill! You have no where to hide now!
Can’t wait to see next quarter’s numbers.
I saw this ad today
At first, I was wondering why there were two phones doing everything in sync.
Then I saw the logos for AT&T and Verizon and it all made sense.
@ Jim–
The Verizon iPhone is 3G. iPhone doesn’t do LTE yet.
in time… hopefully sooner than later – T-Mobile and Sprint will be included.
People who complain about the lack of LTE really strike me as stupid.
Phones have to be tested. How do you prove LTE works well by only using a one-neighborhood test scenario?
The ad bring one other point home: unlike EVERY single other phone on the US market (with the carrier logo conspicuously planted on the face), there is absolutely NO way to tell which is the carrier for your iPhone, unless you know exactly what is the shape of that mute button that is slightly different on the CDMA model.
The one thing that continues to baffle me is the fact that Verizon is becoming, for the first time, and for Apple only, nothing more than a dumb pipe. A true miracle!
Does anyone know if the iPhone on vzw will do voice and data simultaneously?? Can’t imagine a confirm call and emails just waiting for call to end?
Apple chose to go 2G on the original iPhone because that technology was proven, supported by mature chipsets, and easier on the battery. There is a significant lead time involved in producing a quality product, and Apple doesn’t cut corners. Apple went to 3G when it made sense, and will go to 3.5G and 4G when those technologies can deliver to most users. Until then, enjoy the little computing miracle that you hold in your hand today. The iPhone and the iPad are Star Trek technologies come to life!
Wife went into a Verizon store last week to check out her upgrade options. The sales force said it had been absolutely dead since the announcement of iPhone on Verizon (and mind you, this was a Saturday afternoon in a very busy mall). If that’s any indicator, this could be worse for everyone else than we thought…
