Latest iPhone 6s ads recruit Neil Patrick Harris, highlight 4K camera & Touch ID features

After focusing heavily on Earth Day in its last round of YouTube uploads, Apple today has shared a pair of new iPhone 6s ads that each highlight a different feature of the device. The first ad is entitled “Fingerprint” and focuses on what Touch ID enables users to do, while the second ad is entitled “Onions” and highlights the 4K camera capabilities of the device.

In “Fingerprint,” Apple shows off that Touch ID is capable of doing a lot more than just unlocking your smartphone. For instance, it can be used in a variety of third-party apps and can also be used to keep track of boarding passes with Wallet and even unlock your car. “With Touch ID on iPhone 6s, your fingerprint does way more than just unlock your phone,” Apple says in the video’s description.

In the second ad “Onions,” Apple lightheartedly shows off the 4K camera featured on the iPhone 6s. The ad starts with a young girl shooting a video of the process of chopping onions. The video then goes on to sweep the nation by storm, with people amazed that the young girl shot the video with just her iPhone. The video ends with a  cameo by actor Neil Patrick Harris. “4K video on iPhone 6s makes whatever you shoot look amazing. Even onions, ” Apple says.

Last week, Apple shared a pair of new videos highlighting its Earth Day and renewable energy efforts, while it previously shared a series of Apple Watch ads starring Nick Jonas and other celebrities.

    I know I’m asking for a lot but I hope iPhone 7 comes with 4K video recording at 60fps. It probably will.

    “4K viewing requires 4K compatible device”… soooo…. give us one?

      You mean to say that the 5k iMac is overkill?

        In fairness, that’s not 4K. Maybe the black bars confuse him?

        Hence my wording: “overkill”.

    “Onions on the iPhone 6S” sold it to me.

    “Onions” was probably the maximum length of video she could shoot on the 16 GB. Good thing it did so well, now she can afford the overpriced upgrade to bump up to 64 or 128 GB.

    It’s great to see SignEasy being featured in the iPhone 6s – Fingerprint ad. I loved how he bought the boat in a matter of seconds…And that’s not where it ends, our users close deals while vacationing on the beach and complete paperwork while stuck in a snowstorm or in remote areas of Africa or Haiti. Read about the feature on http://bit.ly/1TuyW73

    “Onions” is more original than most of the crap Hollywood is churning out right now. Can you all say “Ghostbusters 2016”?
