Apple Promotes Face ID in New iPhone 15 Ad Called 'Nice Try!'

Apple today shared a new iPhone 15 ad called "Nice Try!" on its YouTube channel in Singapore, promoting how Face ID protects your privacy.


In the 30-second video ad, an iMessage notification appears on a girl's iPhone 15 placed on a dining table, while she is in another room. Nosy family members attempt to unlock the device to read the message, but Face ID prevents them from doing so.

To prevent messages from being previewed on the Lock Screen without Face ID, open the Settings app, tap Notifications → Show Previews, and select When Unlocked.

7 years later and no competitor has caught up to Face ID yet. Google is the closest one, but it's a 1 in 50,000 false acceptance rate compared to Apple's 1 in 1,000,000

Seriously, when I first experienced notifications magically becoming full message previews when I glanced at my new iPhone 11 Pro Max a few years ago, it felt like I was in the future.

This is undoubtedly the coolest smartphone feature of the past few years.

Nice try.

I love this privacy-focused campaign.
In Singapore, we call the behavior depicted by the elderly in the advertisement, "kaypoh."

I know right? I see people up there trying to call the ad racist for depicting something that happens universally in every culture.

C'mon folks stop seeing demons behind every corner.

Good ad. FaceID is a really nice and useful feature. One of the reasons why I prefer to buy the iPad Pro over the Air.
