New Apple Ads

New Apple Ads There are three more of those inventive Apple ads out. Check them out. "Touche!" is hilarious.

Yup, "Touche" & "Out of the Box" are both very good. I didn't like "Work/Home" as much -- I think it's the weakest of all the ads done to date.

For the most part, the ads work so well because they avoid the hackeneyd, knee-jerk stereotypes in favor of actual, real "stuff". Wintel boxes can certainly do the "home" stuff, they just don't do it as well, or as easily, as the Mac. This was touched on far better in the iLife ad, IMO.

I can appreciate the lack of really "negative" advertising Apple is using. Sure PCs work and are useful just not for everything and everyone. Very clever and doesn't make you feel like an absolute moron for having a Dell on your desk. It just makes you consider an Apple the next time.

Yes, blatantly down-to-earth advertising is bound to be successful. It certainly comes across as more "honest."
