Apple – ‘Midnight’

 

Apple showcased their new iPhone 7 with two new spots this week, both of which feature great synch licensed music. The first tells the story of a man capturing nightlife with the help of the new low-light camera feature. Fitting to the night time theme is soft synch licensed music from Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam. The band is a joint venture between Vampire Weekend’s Rostam and Hamilton Leithauser from The Walkmen.

Apple – ‘Morning Ride’

 

Next up in Apple’s new iPhone 7 spots is a man who gets ready for an adrenaline fuelled bike ride, in the middle of a thunderstorm. Although it wouldn’t be everyone’s first thought to go out cycling, with his new water-resistant phone he’s feeling ready to brave the bad weather. Pumping up the excitement is classic synch licensed music from AC/DC.
