New Apple iPhone 11 ads show off Slofies on a snowboard
Apple premiered two new iPhone 11 ads on Sunday, showing off the Slofie feature in the hands of a pro snowboarder.

Slow motion Selfies, or Slofies, are one of Apple's newest features on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. Capable of capturing slow motion video at 1080p and 120fps, the iPhone can help you get a bit more creative with your selfies.
The first spot is called "Whiteout" and shows a professional snowboarder crashing through a snow drift using the front facing camera's slow-mode feature.
The second video "Backflip" is the same snowboarder performing a backflip in slow motion.
Apple coined the term "Slofie" and has since used it in all of its marketing. While you might not find yourself on a snowboard or at the other end of a hairdryer, Slofies are a fun, if not silly, capability of the new iPhones.

They sum it up in the tl:dr section at the top
- Apple has shared two YouTube videos reminding everyone slofies exist.
- But we'd really rather forget it ever happened.
- Really though, who uses this stuff?
Because most of us are not pro snowboarders we won't be using them. I honestly feel by this time next year all mention of Slowfies will have disappeared from Apple's web site and literature.Not to blow things out of proportion - critique doesn’t extend to the OS or other Apple initiatives - just this ridiculous campaign to try to make sl@$!e (shudder) a thing.

People who complain vocally about features they won’t use forget there are other types of people out there. All this is, is an awareness campaign to let people know their new iPhones’ cameras have capabilities that they didn’t have before. There are tons of ways one could use this, and will. Hint: it’s not about snowboarding! Your lack of imagination does not apply to everyone. Pretending like it’s a useless feature because of this marketing push is myopic at best.
