The iPhone Flying Camera Commercial – Proof Birds Aren’t Real

I’m so glad drones weren’t designed like the flying security cameras on display in the recent Apple iPhone commercial. Can you imagine these goofy things flying up above? On the positive side, they might be a lot less loud than every drone I’ve ever encountered! Take a look at the ad which might also prove birds aren’t real.


It’s like the modern version of Hitchcock’s The Birds. Or maybe the mechanical version? No matter how you describe it, the ad is really creative in showing the benefits of the iPhone’s privacy feature. And as one who’s had a bird swoop down to nip my head multiple times (I guess I was too close to its nest?), I appreciate the idea that we (the birds and I) can peacefully coexist… and have some privacy!


The Music. A great soundtrack for this is comes from Björn Jason Lindh, a song released in 1975 called “Billathi Askara.” Here’s the full track.


I’m sure the ad agency behind the ad is proud of this musical selection. It’s another in the long line of peculiar, deep cuts if you will, songs they often pic for the iPhone commercials. What do you think about the ad, and more importantly, do you think birds are real?
