Apple airs joint AT&T and Verizon iPhone commercial

Apple has begun airing a new AT&T and Verizon double-punch iPhone commercial called Waltz which touts "Two is Better than one". It shows off all the features and apps we've grown to know and love throughout Apple's previously AT&T-only US iPhone commercials, side by side, zooming in on one or the other to highlight the identical user experiences. Just as revealing is that the differences are not mentioned. No hint at reception, data speed, simultaneous voice and data, international roaming, etc.

Obviously both AT&T and Verizon will be competing for iPhone customers come February 10 but just as obviously Apple wins either way.

UPDATE: Official Apple video after the break!

    saw this during the KU vs TEXAS game. Frickin jayhawks!!

  2. Chris says:

    Will they at least show the ATT data connection timing out...like what happens to mine about 75% of the time?

    • TNP says:

      No? Why would they? Mine has never timed out, never dropped a call and I've had ever version since iPhone 3G, through 3GS and now iPhone 4.

      You live in a major city? Sucks to be you but that's your networks fault.

      • Chris says:

        Yep, NYC. It's horrible. I keep telling my friends that AT&Ts whole "talk and surf at the same time" argument becomes nullified when I can't surf regardless of what else I am doing.

    • Nashville says:

      Never had a "connection timed out" and I've been with AT&T/Cingular for 6 years. Maybe being a Nashville resident where one of AT&T's corporate offices are located has something to do with it...I don't know. I DO know that my phone sends and receives data faster than my co-workers' Verizon phones, so this commercial is a tad misleading.

    what has happened to tipb? it seems to have lost much of its charm from the early days. less focus on the issues, now too much cutesy stuff like tipb TV and giggling on the podcasts.

    LOVE IT!

  5. TK says:

    Very classy

  6. Brian says:

    It is a win win situation for Apple. This twin commercial is a good idea. After the commercial Apple will leave it up to AT&T and Verizon to slug it out.

  7. Mom of Naa says:

    I think my husband will be gettting a Verizon iPhone and I'm all for it! Yay! I have ATT and have been perfectly happy with it. I wont be switching. I'm hoping the white iPhone 5 will be coming put soon. Mama needs a white iPhone. :0)

  11. Ronn says:

    Another W for apple. Love thier commercials.

  12. Flskydiver says:

    Funny how both of the face-timing ladies have the (same) perfectly groomed hands of a white man.

  13. jj says:

    Shouldn't the phone to the left have an African American person holding the phone. It appears both hands are of a caucasian person.

  14. HungWell says:

    Well, we know this post isn't from Rene. Everything is spelled correctly ;)

  16. Joshp406 says:
