Apple iPhone X Animoji “Yourself” version

iPhone X — Animoji Yourself — Apple

This is a unique, pop-style commercial introducing Animoji, first featured on the iPhone X.

Animoji uses the front-facing camera to read the user’s facial expressions and reflect them onto emojis.

In the ad, a woman is shown smiling and singing, while an Animoji mirrors her expressions.

The background music is “All Night” by American rapper Big Boi.

The commercial features the particularly poppy hook from the track, but the fast-paced verses are both catchy and cool—so be sure to listen to the entire song.

Apple iPhone X Animoji “Alien”

Apple iPhone X: Animoji – Alien

This is a commercial introducing Animoji, a feature included with the iPhone X that debuted in 2017.

Animoji uses the front-facing camera to read the user’s facial expressions and reflect them in an on-screen animation.

In this ad, an Animoji alien sings “Redbone.” The song was released in 2016 by actor Donald Glover under his stage name Childish Gambino.

Its distinctive, pleasantly floating vibe is part of its appeal, but there’s also a view that the lyrics carry political messages.

Be sure to listen while taking a close look at the lyrics.

Its minimal guitar-and-bass accompaniment is striking and sticks in your head after just one listen.
