Wait? Starting production now and won't be done for over a month? Don't they know that Apple's Final Cut Pro X can allow them to edit while the video ingests?! I wonder if the advertisers just use Adobe instead?
I don't think the name was really in doubt by the most reasonable people.
Steve is going to get up on stage and announce the iPhone 5, with the A5 chip, running iOS 5.
It's simple and elegant. And we all know how much Steve values simplicity.
He's not going to call it anything else. And guess who has the last say about marketing decisions at Apple?
Makes sense.
4G isn't going to be available worldwide for a few years anyway so there is no point calling it the iPhone 4G. I could understand iPhone 4S for speed but I think they'll go with 5.
One more thing... I still think they may release a 5th generation iPod Touch at the same time - all the 5's in one go.
Apple won't even need an ad campaign when the next iPhone is released. They'll be selling them faster than they can make them even without any TV presence whatsoever. So, running ads a few weeks after the next iPhone is released would make a lot of sense.
That was the thought that I had.
Also, what was the date that the first ad for each version actually launched, versus when the product launched. I ponder this because it is possible that the completion date is after the actual launch because they aren't planning to air the ads until a week or more after the phone is out. After all, the point of the ads isn't selling to those that have iphones already (and are typically most of the folks that show up on launch day and the week or so after), but rather to the folks that have less of a clue and thus stay at home during the launch.
So get the horde of fanboi types out of the way first and then you have less traffic and more time for the newbies drawn in by the ads, who will have more questions etc.

Nope. More like 1-2 days. That said, they are likely not shooting a single ad. Nor is it really going to take them this long.
If they are using a sound stage etc they probably had to use one that is slated for a movie or even a tv show and thus they have to do the filming and get out so that the sets can be put in for said use. So they could be on a deadline that is coming up in a week or so. Who knows.
Plus while the shooting might only take 2-3 weeks on the stage, they will have to CGI in all the simulated sequences and that will had a bit more post time then a simple edit. Plus there could be availability issues with their voice over talent so they had to start now to work around that.
All this together who result in film now and put under lock and key for a few weeks before actually releasing the final product.
