Seagull flies over a breaking wave in California, shot with an iPhone

Apple has unveiled a series of commercials which feature video shot by iPhone 6 users. Each of the advertisements shows off the high quality recording capabilities of iPhone, most of which demonstrate some of the more interesting camera features like the ability to easily capture time-lapse and slow-motion video.


The seven videos are shot from a variety of places around the world, each clip is 15 seconds long and features an accompanying soundtrack. Those interested can find the song names for each song featured in the ads on the YouTube page for the individual videos.

You’ll likely start seeing these on TV during the traditional timeslots that Apple runs commercials, but the videos are embedded below for easy viewing as well.

Even if you’re not interested in keeping on top of Apple commercials and advertising efforts, most of the short movies are interesting enough to warrant a view or two, and perhaps inspire you to get out there with your own iPhone camera. The videos are also available to view on the iPhone World Gallery page of Apple.com which features some really nice photography shot with iPhone cameras.

  3. iPhone 6 – Is its a smartphone or a camera?

    Apple is currently running a campaign “Shot on iPhone 6″ TV ads showing off the iPhone 6’s camera abilities

    The videos are shot from a variety of places around the world by real people, each clip is about 15 seconds long.

    It is accompanied by a pleasing soundtrack.

    Undoubtedly these ads are creative and beautifully shot –

    BUT IS Apple iPhone 6 A VIDEO CAMERA OR A PHONE?

    Not a single word about its USPs or its benefits as a phone.

    When you spend Rs. 55000 to Rs. 81000 you definitely get a camera which has far superior features than an iPhone 6!

    I really wish David Ogilvy was alive today for his expert comments on this ad!

    How can you use a smart phone for Time Lapse photography. It is a device for making phone calls, and communicating with. Time Lapse photography is generally used when placing a camera or device on a tripod or something for set period of time. A smart phone is normally stuck in a pocket or bag. I cannot see someone placing a device on a tripod to film something, then the phone rings during the filming – great!

    I like the billboard ads of the photos taken from iPhone, and I like these video ads too. I just wish Apple would choose my pictures too, but I guess they look on Flickr? So maybe if you want your pictures featured by Apple, post them to Flickr? I don’t know, hah!
