Apple has unveiled two advertisements, this time for their iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 ProTitanium, titled “Introducing iPhone 15 | WOW | Apple,” and “iPhone 15 Pro – Titanium.” The ads aim to introduce the iPhone 15’s new features, such as a 48MP main camera, 2x telephoto, next-generation portraits, and USB-C.
The soundtrack for Apple’s iPhone 15 advertisement is “WOW” by Team Salut and DÜKI TRAN. Music plays a significant role in advertising, setting the tone and mood for the product being showcased. In this case, the track aims to complement the “wow” factor Apple is trying to associate with its new iPhone 15.
The second advert is for iPhone 15 ProTitanium with the soundtrack music “Karangailyg Kara Hovaa (Dyngyldai)” by Yat-Kha.
The Good
- Conciseness: Unlike the Apple Watch Series 9 ad, this one is shorter and gets straight to the point, listing the features rapidly.
- Visual Appeal: The ad is visually stunning, showcasing the iPhone 15 in various colors and settings, a staple of Apple’s advertising.
The Bad
- Lack of Depth: The ad is too brief to provide real insight into the features. This starkly contrasts Google Pixel ads, which often delve into the camera capabilities and software features in detail.
- Repetitiveness: The ad uses the word “wow” excessively, which could either capture attention or annoy viewers. This is unlike Samsung’s Galaxy ads, which use a variety of phrases and visuals to keep the viewer engaged.
- Missed Opportunity: The ad could have benefited from user testimonials or real-world applications of the features, similar to what OnePlus often includes in its advertisements.
Comparison with Competitors
- Google Pixel: Google’s ads are more informative and focus on the unique software capabilities of their phones. They also tend to be longer, providing a more comprehensive view.
- Samsung Galaxy: Samsung’s ads are varied and engaging, often showcasing the versatility of their devices in different settings and for different user needs.
- OnePlus: OnePlus ads often include user testimonials and real-world applications, making them more relatable and convincing.
Final Thoughts
Apple’s iPhone 15 ad is visually appealing but lacks depth and variety. While it does a good job of listing the features, it falls short in providing a comprehensive understanding of the product.

- Google Pixel: Known for its camera and software capabilities, the Pixel could offer stiff competition, especially if its price point is lower.
