iPhone 4 FaceTime TV Ad (directed by Sam Mendes)

[cobbfilm]

lol... to bad none of these places actually have wifi.... hahaaa

[TUFFGUNN]

always a pregnant asian girl and white boi...should see the progressive commercial...they emphasized the asian in her with her bright yellow shirt...

[salibazah]

No, no, no. This ad was not about racism. It's about the happy moments you're missing. At the end of the TV ad, the caption says:  "...You shouldn't have divorced".

[TUFFGUNN]

@salibazah lolz...so they promoting it subliminally...

[ryanjaprice]

@myneighbourhood - you're wrong

[kornypony]

yea why are asian females always paired up with white males in mainstream media? imagine if this commercial features an asian male with a white female instead.. not gonna happen because america is racist towards asian males. its "asian female fetish", not "asian fetish"

[answerOfstupids]

luv it, and want it, rit now. But phone isnt everything i probably would have to pay 90 dollars each month for sending and receiving videos over phone. Is this iphone still at&t fixed??

[cheapholiday]

Horsflab

[MissRUSerious]

Who cares, its just a commericial meant to convey the new iphone 4. the end. stop bickering around about race.

[bryanreed1]

I guess the white man/asian woman is the new number 1 combo lol sucks for white chicks

[finaltorment]

wow listening to you guys, it does makes ad making sound like a really complex job... here are some facts :

1) There are no animals in this video - Apple hates animals !!!

2) There are no blond-haired people in this video - Apple hates blondies !!!

3) There are no homosexuals in this video - Apple hates homos !!!

4) etc etc etc

[shootthedevil]

@finaltorment Why is it everytime they put an Asian woman on TV they have to paired with a white man? Whites racist like to ignore that fact.

[finaltorment]

@shootthedevil So what ? I don,t think pointing injustices this way is helping anything at all if not making it worse, putting everybody on a defensive stanse about their racial identities (which are all, btw, bullshit - we are all mixed at one point or the other). I don't think negative enforcement and being intransigent about everything is helping the race issue. Aren't we past that yet in 2010 ? Of course not, but believing it is, from my point of view, the best way to make it happen.

[shootthedevil]

@finaltorment No, not while you still have Chealsea Hadler and comedian making fun of Asians. I just pointing out white people hypocrisy.

[TUFFGUNN]

@finaltorment homos, blondes, and animals don't know how to use electronics..

[TUFFGUNN]

homos, blondes, and animals don't know how to use electronics..you should check out alexandra wallace...

[finaltorment]

@TUFFGUNN ...lol wtf are you talking about ?

[xrikimarux]

so is that matt damon? w/e? why is he deaf?

[StopFear]

why the heck are there two different asian chick/white dude couples in a row? also an entirely different asian chick white dude couple on their site? what the hell is going on and why are they pushing this stereotype race crap of white/asian couple

[shootthedevil]

@StopFear They are white pushing a white agenda. If you have an Asian child, I suggest turn off the TV. It is poisonous. White men are the most insecure race in the world. The passed laws against Asian men marrying whites and preventing Asian women from entering the country when they are tyring to exploit Asian worker to builds the railroad, now thye are pushing their white is right agenda.

[lazzawazza93]

you can just see this becoming like a portable chat roulette. you'll get a call and you'll just see someone rocking out with their cock out.

[nik100o]

I can't wait until I get the iPhone 4 in a few weeks!

[xgamblet]

apple corp. don't think about the new generation that how will they utilize it now young boys and girls will use the device as a sex machine.........so its terrible but what to do

[TheChickenman93]

why would grand parents have an iphone 4

it kinda sucks how to make a video call to some1 one on ur iphone 4 they have to have an iphone 4 aswell plus how many of ur friends will actually have an iphone

[AppleRV]

@TheChickenman93 many of my friends :P

[itsAyAy]

i cant wait to make a video call... thats really cool.

[dtzihe]

stupidest commercial i've ever seen

[TheWejdin]

Not a single black person in this commercial. :P Must be a sign.

[MyBrainGoBoom]

@TheWejdin ummm.... :46 - :56

[shootthedevil]

@TheWejdin They are saying black people are too poor to afford this awesome white hippie product. I guessed the only target is white people and self-hating Asian women who love everything white. No non-white men either. Obviously created by a white guy with some white agenda.

[masely81]

@shootthedevil/ You can't really blame the firm for that. The majority of iphone users are middle-class whites and possibly asians. What they have done is simply making an ad to target their major customers.

[shootthedevil]

@masely81 You are just blind. American media have always been racist. White people are the most racist of the bunch.

[hadesoftheunderworld]

@shootthedevil , you're a hypocrite. Your statements are full of insecurity and racism.

[masely81]

@shootthedevil I agree with you about racism but I think before blaming whites, coloured people in America should start looking at themselves first. Hispanics consider themselves superior to black people while the blacks make fun of Mexican immigrants. Asians think they are high up in social ladder above blacks and hispanics while the other two groups of ethnic minioities think Asians are a joke. The point here is that you are all caught in your own racial prejudices against each other. 

[masely81]

@shootthedevil By the way, after reading your other comments, i've come to realise that you are upset about Asian women appearing on this ad whereas black women are not. And you are actually implying that Asian women are self-hating and Asian people in the states are there for dirty jobs. So it explaines everything now. You are trying so hard to prove that you are somewhat superior than other ethnic minorities but you are just ipssed off because this ad does not seem to acknowledge that.

[chancy319]

@TheWejdin Exactly! F*cking racists.

[1paulll]

@TheWejdin Isnt there a black woman?

[blairduboir]

oh my... the implications and applications for this, are going to be endless... yes, and it's what your thinkin, it's what flashed in everyones mind when they saw this video, apple might as well make a commercial, showing the many deliciously sweet ways, this feature can be used ;)

[Ejis2cool]

welcome to the future

[ronalderik]

by the way, you Know who invented videocalls? NOKIA 2 years ago! you just use skype or fring for free!! in cheap smartphone! over 3G o Wifi no problems! regards.

[ronalderik]

1:43 Matt Damon?

[senas8]

I think the people signing to each other was the most compelling.

[lDolLlL]

omg the people signing to eachother made me so happy

[LordZelgius]

Those who say Android is better can't afford an iPhone.

[yasir25119918]

@LordZelgius True! I surely respect andriod for its openness but in ease of use and smoothness, google's os has nothing on iOS.

[Borridd]

@LordZelgius What.. Some Android phones are more expensive, and I'd prefer to pay less and get a better phone than to pay more to get a crappier phone thankyou.

[StedySniper]

@LordZelgius

People who say "youre jealous because you cant afford one" really need to stop being 5 years old. Seriously, that's the weakest thing Ive heard for anyone defending anything.

[syunnerberg]

Тупорылые америкосы!

[brideshead1921]

this ad is a backhanded attempt to look racially inclusive but it just perpetuates the racist myth of the dominant white male with asian (or fill in the ethnicity) females. if Apple had a black guy with a white female, whole swaths of the south would boycott Apple. it wasn't too long ago that a black guy would get lynched for touching a white woman. and how about an asian male with a white femaie. hell how about making a story line center around non-whites period?

[chinchilla505]

@brideshead1921 teh fuck, its just people. just say awww like a normal person and hush ur mouth.

[shootthedevil]

@brideshead1921 Sorry but white people are in love with themselve. It aint going to happen. This fake multiculturalism bullshit is really tiring me.

[EscravoModerno]

IRAQ KILLS ARE 1.600.000 SINCE OCCUPATION. be ashamed

[agiantamongants]

apple...you have a way with adverts my friend..buying it

[ArteTuga]

Nokia N8.. way better...

[JuniorX]

android FTW!

[RamNex45]

And you just got 300$ lighter.

[StylinRed]

You need a wi-fi connection to do this.. can't do it over your telephone network

[StylinRed]

@StylinRed not to mention other phones have had this for yeaaaarsss

[shootthedevil]

Wow, no asian , hispanic, or black family, but two white male Asian female couple. I guess the white director have an Asian fetish. Apple - no minority need apple, except for Asian geisha.

[outselect]

so positive...like it :)

[shootthedevil]

@outselect It is positive only if you are white. Otherwise it just some white man's version of multiculturalism.

[hadesoftheunderworld]

@shootthedevil , " a white man's version of multiculturalism" ......yeah, so what?

the media shows a lot of race mixing between white women and other races. It shouldn't be any different for us. Many white men like korean women and japanese women. That shouldn't be a problem for anyone, unless you're insecure with yourself.

[StedySniper]

@shootthedevil

Oh damn, a whole TWO couples, oh shit, that obviously means their racist. Not a whole TWO couples, one would be understandable but theres no way it could be a coincidence if it happened TWICE....seriously, shut the fuck up.

[shootthedevil]

@StedySniper STFU white boy, 2 couple out of 3. That is 2/3 dumbass. Stop shoving this shit down people throat.

[StedySniper]

@shootthedevil

In a group of only 3 couple, 2 still isnt all that much.

Seriously, you are a paranoid fuck.

[mastergradeone]

old people use iphones?

didnt even know they use cell phones

i like how this commercial targets everyone

[gotrottin]

People talk too much.

[SeitxiS]

why apple act like they invented this camera-call system? i mean srsly, this shit is around from like 5 years lulz!

[capitalismforever]

watch?v=Ohzetiox9z4

[Mirsad9]

Anyone know the name of the song?

[thebluemanatee]

@Mirsad9 When You're Smiling- Louis Armstrong

[riskoish]

this is just a wonderful commercial ^_^

[MaZe741]

brilliant... video telephony was around for years, but now; ITS IN YOUR IPHONE!

simpsons was right, just get something that already exists and build a watch into it. much simpler than actually inventing something.

[StefanSuender]

I heared FaceTime only works with Wifi for now! I think that is a major letdown! More of a trip to the past than an innovation!

[moosewax]

thats cool its for mute ppl

[3CitiesBand]

God... it goes on forever and ever, doesn't it? :s

[Borridd]

Oh wow video calls, I didn't know we went to the past,

[matteobianchi00]

bORING

[TheLousalome]

IT'S NOT MATT DAMON AT ALL BUT RYAN LANE , AN ACTOR WHO LOOKS A LOT LIKE MATT DAMON.....

[TonyRush]

Love the part at 1:19 -- going to be a big hit with hearing impaired people

[sapphyreseraph]

There's a huge bad side to this! At work, EVERYONE has an iPhone, and everyone knows the others do. So now if I oversleep, and go like, "Oh... I'm omw!" *facetime* "I see you in bed..." Or what about all the parents and stuff, "Mom I'm at a friends house" *facetime* "That's a club..." Basically this is so gonna be used as a way for people to monitor what's going on xD

[raskolnikov1331]

Lets be realistic Apple, most people are going to use this for phone sex.

[perh11]

@raskolnikov1331 well.. sex sells

[blairduboir]

@raskolnikov1331 lmao... you know it...

[shuffie12]

@raskolnikov1331 Nasty, nasty thinking and that practically ruined this cute video for me.

[Omarkhan77]

Deaf Matt Damon!

[Doisneau40]

Great ad!

[meast333]

Deaf Matt Damon is my favorite part.

[SlumberCats]

1:22 looks like matt damon! lol

[faithriders]

It is sad to read such cynical comments concerning the wonders of technology and how this technology can help people enjoy the fleeting moments of life. I am sure the same type of cynics were around at the beginning of such new found advances like printed books, telephones, cameras and the personal computer.

[r34perpwnz]

This looks cool. Of course I won't be using it all the time, but there are many situations where I find myself saying, "Wow I wish you could see this". What better way to sell a product than a touching Ad?

[dantizzle]

assuming your grandparents also have iphone 4 and wifi...or know what these things are.

[stophthecomputerwiz]

[Requires a Wi-Fi connection to work]

[NewProContainers]

Great! Now there is absolutely no reason for families to get together IN PERSON for big events

[XXXpeterparkerXXX]

Interesting. Apparently in Sam Mendes world only straight people with kids (or kids on the way) will want the iPhone 4.

[SlumberCats]

@XXXpeterparkerXXX yeah it cant be that he's just apealling to the majority of consumers? i didnt see any black ppl or asian ppl or latino ppl .... i suppose he's racist too huh?

*Sarcasm

[shootthedevil]

@SlumberCats The white man is kind enough to include 2 Asian women with white men. White men are smart, after all the news of white men murdering Asian women, they still trying to portray whites are some kind of loving husband. No Asian, Hispanic, or Black family. Apple have no problem taking advantage of Asian workers to slave away for their over priced product though. 9 people committed suicide at the factory for Apple.

[chinchilla505]

@shootthedevil also apple is based in san fran right? the norm in san fran is like asian and white peeps everywhere. trends trends trends! gotta stay hip yo

[shootthedevil]

@chinchilla505 I live in Santa Clara. I know the trend. It is racist love. It is great if you are white, otherwise, you just another Asian or Mexican living 7 to home just to survive or you're Black living in Oarkland and Richmond. San Francisco is what I call a liberal bigot heaven. White men are pushing the racist love agenda by dividing minority community so that the only new addition to the community are recent immigrant since all the wealthy blacks and half of Asians married whites,

[shootthedevil]

@chinchilla505 Frankly, this country is as racist as ever, only now it is invisible and harder to fight.

[petitetoile]

@XXXpeterparkerXXX

How do you know those girls at 0:48 to 0:58 are not lesbians?

[TheLousalome]

@petitetoile Is it really impoertant to know about the sexuality?!!!!

[yaynorth123]

Fuck you Sam Mendes

[hiralzalavadia]

they better switch from AT&T if they want this to work.

[hop208]

@hiralzalavadia It only works through Wi Fi. At&t would crash and burn if they tried to support that much data transfer.

[SlumberCats]

@hiralzalavadia i thought iphones were already on att?

[yellowsunshine]

this is awesome

[dudeitsgnarly]

facetime will kill my battery but regardless, looks awesome

[zippsy]

MrKicky, why don't you sue Apple for false advertising? Then you can keep fucking your cheese for as long as you like.

[xtremegt2]

Sam Mendes directed this. The guy who did American Beauty and Road to Perdition. Apparently since then he took up sucking dicks and shitting the bed, because this commercial sucks.

[shootthedevil]

@xtremegt2 Not to mention reeks of Asian fetishism and very white.

[LLL78]

This is a sweet video... :) Who the f. cares if there is wifi in the baracks or not, it is not a bloody documentary, it is something about connection.

[MrKickyourbutt]

Cheesy as fuck. Since when do military barracks or hospitals have wifi? And there's no way that college student is affording that phone and plan by herself.

I'll be extremely surprised if the video is that smooth even under the best of conditions.

[MrJessevega]

@MrKickyourbutt I'm in the Army. Lots of barracks have WiFi. Even in Iraq we had a slow WiFi connection. I also know a couple of college students who are lined up to buy the new iphone. Maybe you should change your name to Mrdon'tknowWTFi'mtalkingabout.

[TryMyMartini]

Is that Ryan Lane as the hearing impaired guy near the end?
