Apple’s latest iPhone 6s TV ad, “Thank You Speech” has debuted on U.S. network and cable broadcast television.
In the ad, Neil Patrick Harris rehearses a thank you speech with the aid of Apple’s personal assistant Siri.
Siri reads back the highly-original thank you speech that Harris has composed in Apple’s Notes app.
With Hands-free Siri on iPhone 6s you just say, “Hey Siri,” and Siri’s there to help you with pretty much everything.

MacDailyNews Take: Good ad. Harris pokes fun at himself while showing off Siri.
Nutshell: Famous people who can afford the very best use iPhones (to do things you only dream of doing). You can and should, too.
When Neil said, “Hey Siri” the iPhone on my desk replied as if it was me. Too weird.
What, no homophobic outrage?
Where’s the crew to weigh in on this?
Note: There is less homophobia in the real world than the media and the very vocal advocate groups would have you think.
I tried the same thing that Neil did on the ad. My iPhone did not read my speech to me. Instead, it said “You’ll need to unlock your iPhone first.”
I believe that is a preference you can change. Can serve a security purpose, depending on your needs.
This guy is creepy.
Siri could be quite useful if Apple actually invested in developing this technology.
Very cool. There are echoes here of the Knowledge Navigator video from about 1990(?). The classical music, the elegant home, the easy, interaction with the digital assistant.
