Neil Patrick Harris shows off 'Hey Siri' in Apple's latest iPhone 6s ad
Actor Neil Patrick Harris has once again joined Apple to promote the iPhone 6s, this time in a new TV ad where the Oscar and Tony host dictates notes to his iPhone using its "Hey Siri" handsfree capabilities.

In the new 30-second ad, Harris prompts his phone to read a saved memo from the Notes app using only his voice. Siri responds accordingly, allowing Harris to freshen up his tuxedo and practice the speech without touching the iPhone 6s.
The ad ends with a joke regarding the robotic nature of Siri's voice, as Harris tells the mirror he'll "be a lot more natural."
Harris was the one handing out an award in the last iPhone 6s ad, which focused on the high-resolution 4K camera and its filmmaking capabilities.
Apple has mostly chosen to focus on individual iPhone 6s features in ads for its latest-generation smartphone. The company previously spotlighted handsfree "Hey Siri" capabilities in an ad that featured a very different type of celebrity than Harris --?Sesame Street's Cookie Monster.

I hope iOS 10 gets a HUGE Siri revamp. She's more frustrating than useful right now. ESPECIALLY on Apple TV where we find ourselves doing everything manually to avoid the dumb voice assistant.
Same reason he picked Cookie Monster.
In other words, exactly the same reasons they picked Cookie Monster.
They unveiled Viv a few hours ago. Looks really good!
That was extremely generous of him. Anyone else would probably have asked to be paid.
I hate it when I'm driving and Siri tells me, I'm sorry but something has gone wrong, I can't complete your requests right now!
i didn't see the comment but I really think homophobia has no place on these forums -- or anywhere else for that matter.
I've always felt Apple's ads are always strongest when they show their average customers getting mileage out of their products. Show me a kid rehearsing his speech for student council. Show me a young man rehearsing his wedding proposal. Show me a mom rehearsing a speech for her parents 50th wedding anniversary.
One of the most amazing commercials Apple ever did was the kid who everybody thought was a loner, but was actually creating a beautiful movie about his family at the holidays. Those are messages that can resonate with everybody, and bring utility from Apple products into their own lives.
