Apple iPad has been a massive hit like the iPad. Its everything that we love about the iPad but smaller and better in some ways. Apple continues to market the iPad Mini to the best and they’ve just released two new ads to show what this Mini device can do for you. Here take a look. The two spots are called Alive and Together and they started turning up in primetime TV slots on Sunday.
Theres no narrator this time, no commentary at all. You just get adjectives flashing past to a drum beat and each word lands on an app. Alive gives you Loud and Deep, Together gives you Wild and Bright. We spotted GarageBand, iPhoto, iBooks, TED and FaceTime in there, and both the full size iPad and the Mini get screen time.
The whole point is the app catalogue. There are more than 300,000 apps made specifically for the iPad and since theyre built for iPad they all run on the Mini too. Its a change from the older iPad ads where a single calm narrator talked you through the hardware. Watch both below and tell us which one you liked. If you were wondering which one we prefer, its Alive. Stay tuned.
