Apple commercials: A collection of ads showcasing sophisticated production (21–30)

Apple iPhone 17 Pro “A19 Pro chip — superhumanly powerful” edition

iPhone 17 Pro | A19 Pro chip | Superhumanly powerful | Apple

This commercial powerfully showcases just how impressive the A19 Pro chip in the iPhone 17 Pro is.

It clearly conveys—not only visually but also through explanation—how the vapor chamber cools the chip with steam, enabling sustained high performance.

A major highlight is the way it personifies the performance: the ‘steam’ revitalizes a human stand-in, who then demonstrates seemingly superhuman capabilities.

The analogy—“if this were a person, it would be like this”—ironically makes the performance harder to grasp, lending the spot a memorable, comedic tone.

It’s a song that will definitely stick in your head after just one listen.
