Remember the days before the Iphone was invented? People had flip phones, if they even had cell phones at all. Having internet on your flip phone cost a fortune. There were no "applications" and the most music you could have on your phone was the ringtone you downloaded for a dollar. However, Apple, along with other venders for smart phones, have changed the way the world contacts each other. Now, it is very rare to see a business man or woman without a smart phone. Now that Verizon came out with the Iphone, most people who had Blackberry's have switched to the Iphone simply because, well, it is the Iphone. The Iphone has been so highly praised by everyone because of everything it can do. The commercials that show that the Iphone can be used as your boarding pass for a plane or can deposit a check by simply taking a picture of it blows our minds. The Iphone is portrayed as a universal remote that controls our lives. This Apple commercial proves how the Iphone is portrayed as a status signal nowadays. This commercial is basically saying, "Well, then you don't have an iphone. You aren't as cool or as significant as those with the iphone." Oh, how the world of cell phones has transformed...
