Apple has a new karate kid commercial and notice how I didn’t capitalize karate kid because it’s not THE Karate Kid, but it’s definitely a karate kid, his dad, and an iPhone. This is one of my favorite iPhone ads because it’s funny with a fitting song, and the editing/timing is 👌. Everyone who has a smartphone knows battery life is important. So important Apple makes entire commercials about a long-lasting battery. You’ve probably seen the singing wall outlets already. And do you remember this bicycle-riding kid from 2022? Battery life is also a must-have if your son is going to hiya through stacks of wood. It may take all night for this determined kid. Check out the synchronized chops then scroll down for more info…
The Music. The kid’s soundtrack is a song called “How Many Times” by JJ & The Mood. Here’s the entire peculiar track…
I think that’s real. *checking if it’s real* Yeah, yeah that’s real. I’m almost sure this will be the strangest music video (and song) I experience all year. How Apple came across it is beyond me. I think even JJ & The Mood was surprised they found it! Here’s an Instagram post about the commercial (and take a sec to follow them @jjandthemood)…
The Kid Actor. Playing the karate kid is actor Ayush Rajmachikar. What a good sport! He’s also on Instagram (@ayush_rajmachikar), where he confessed this:
Great ad and I hope the band and all the actors find even more success in 2024!
