The first official iPhone 5 Ad from Apple

Image source: Apple

The official ad for the iPhone 5 is now available on YouTube. This after all the fuss made by Samsung and ads for its GS3. Where in addition to other things said that the screen was larger than the iPhone 5 and that the next big thing is already here. The ad for the iPhone 5 is however really cleaver and it's titled Apple - iPhone 5 - TV Ad - Thumb. It shows the range of the human thumb and how the iPhone 5 has been designed with a touchscreen to exactly fit that range. The obvious message is that screens much larger don't really fit that range and therefore become quite inconvenient. Take a look at the ad and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Samsung Ad 'The Next Big Thing' [Video]

It seems Samsung is relentlessly pursuing Apple Fanboys -- going after the iPhone 5. just a few days ago Samsung ran a print ad called ' It doesn't take a genius'. The ad does a comparison between the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy s III. Well the latest is a video called 'The next big thing is already here' - this time poking fun at the people waiting in line outside the Apple stores wiating to be the first to get their hands on the all new iPhone 5. The video cleverly shows how the Galaxy S 3 already has features that the iPhone 5 will be coming with and some features that have not yet come to the iPhone. For instance the large screen that the iPhone 5 is getting is already there on the S3, 4G LTE connectivity already available. Samsung also references the phone as 'GS3' bringing about the hip quotient. The biggest dog seems to be the guy who is waiting in line reserving a spot for his parents. This jibe at the iPhone 5 to show that the next big thing is already here and the iPhone 5 is already old before it comes out. So will the ad have an impact, let us know in the comments section below.

That the iPhone 5 will come with a laser keyboard and holographic images. Promoting many users to called the iPhone 5 laser keyboard, fake.

Pre-orders of the iPhone 5 have already sold out and the iOS 6 is just days away from landing on people's phones. One thing that the new iPhone and iOS will not come with is the stock YouTube app. There are many reasons for this and the main one being the fierce competition between Google and Apple - a number of lawsuits persist between the two companies.

Just days ahead of the release of iOS 6 YouTube launched its new stand-alone app in the app in the app store. The older stock version of YouTube available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod is something most users are familiar with.
