Verizon Christmas Bags iPhone Coverage
(Average: 4.00 out of 5)
Loading ...Verizon’s latest Christmas-themed television commercials continue the teleco’s critique of competitor AT&T, using the Island of Misfit Toys, Blue Christmas and Santa’s Elves. The three ads set out to reveal the flaw in Apple’s iPhone deal with AT&T, subtly suggesting that the Verizon Droid make its way onto Christmas shopping lists this year.
Island of Misfit Toys
An adapted scene from the 1964 Rankin/Bass stop-motion animated Christmas film, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. “We’re on the island of misfit toys”, sounds the soundtrack as an iPhone swaggers onto the island. “What are you doing here?”, asks one of the toys. All becomes clear when the iPhone reveals the difference between AT&T 3G coverage and Verizon 3G coverage.
