Microsoft Mocks Apple and Its New iPhones [Video]

Microsoft has released a new series of ads mocking Apple and its next-generation iPhones.

The series is entitled, "A fly on the wall in Cupertino?" and spoofs a meeting at Apple to discuss ideas for the new devices.

It's a pretty bad commercial, especially when compared to this excellent one released just a month ago.

Take a look at the longest video below. The full series, which is divided into 6 parts, can be seen here.

Update:
The entire series of ads has been pulled from YouTube. Possibly due to an overwhelmingly negative response.

In fact, there are guys at Microsoft that will make the best video to win awards, but the reality is they have to be spontaneous and do it fast without wasting work time. Also, Apple could only wish to be as big as Microsoft and as an Apple user I really don't want Apple to be as big as Microsoft; I want them to stay small with great new ideas.

Lame and crappy waisted a minute of my life watching this?! now it would be funny and meaningful at least if apple makes fun of MS they have a lot of insights to talk about :)

Always the same, since their phone has nothing to be proud off, the only thing they can do is mock Apple

The video on YouTube got pulled because Apple lawyers called Google with a harsh warning in regards to entity damages and lawsuits if the video remained online on Google servers.

Microsoft keeps attacking apple with adds, but guess what Microsof, they are still selling more phones than you, so stop wasting your money on ads and try to catch up with android and ios, because if you don't you will end up like blackberry lonely and forgotten lol

MS attacks Apple. Yawn! It's hardly surprising. When you've got no market share, and can't get anyone to use your phone, of course you attack the biggest name on the block. Then they went after ads attacking BOTH apple and Android. Soon they'll add the defunct Blueberry and landline phones to their 'mock' ads!

If you dont like Apple why do you read news about them?

Sharp - September 14, 2013 at 8:51am

Apple should pay to MS for making a commercial for them...

the first company to mock up was Apple, about Microsoft Windows and OS X. i am a Apple fan, but i have to agree with this video, Apple is struggling at the moment, ReVamp design without a big change, that is not what i was expecting. i keep my 4s for long time, i will wait for the next creation. something has to come out, out of the ordinary

paulMOGG - September 13, 2013 at 11:53pm

I don't trust a company that thinks it has to mock other company's to grab market share with this type of advertising ... It's totally insecure and pathetic ... Your not growing up !

"hi i'm a mac..."

Ken - September 15, 2013 at 1:32am

Those ads weren't specifically targeting Microsoft, just PCs in general.

andre - September 15, 2013 at 1:40am

pretty sure they where talking bout linux.

AVD - September 13, 2013 at 10:29pm

Does anyone have a link to the public video??

the dude - September 13, 2013 at 9:09pm

as an ms employee, i would believe the legitimacy of these videos simply because of some of the crazy stuff that is produced for internal eys only

Guest - September 13, 2013 at 8:59pm

This is why I turned notifications off on iclarified... They will post anything.... This isn't from Microsoft its a fan video. Took me 10 seconds to see that... Wish you guys would take the ten seconds yourselves to weed out the lies. It's a less than funny fan video is all. Or antifan video I mean

Bethany - September 14, 2013 at 12:05am

Perhaps if you had a little bit of competence you would have noticed the videos were posted to Microsoft's official windowsphone YouTube channel.

Lucas Mariscal - September 13, 2013 at 8:06pm

I tried to watch the video and it said it was private. Why?

myaapple - September 13, 2013 at 7:37pm

One thing microsoft is doing better than apple , comercials. Lol

Koenig - September 13, 2013 at 7:35pm

Ms makes a video mocking apple for innovation... MS just sacked their CEO for no innovation...

Za - September 13, 2013 at 7:21pm

There's nothing about A Windows phone that is appealing, so I guess they have to do their best, which involves bashing the competition. Not the kind of advertising that gets me to buy a Windows phone.

Apple is doing something Microsoft what are u doing, where is ur ideas ? Are u trying to buy apple for the next few years ? U even buy Nokia lol u dont know what are u doing any more u buy all companies and after they become bad, the only success u made is the Xbox, and u know what? The new xbox one is bad.

odedoo1 - September 14, 2013 at 7:53pm

That is not true; the new Xbox One is excellent and jailbreakable, which the PlayStation 4 is not. I also figured out why Microsoft would buy Nokia when I found out that Nokia was experimenting with Android software.

Purecolombianmac - September 13, 2013 at 6:52pm

That's what Microsoft n Samsung does better at mocking n coping .....

Jake wood - September 13, 2013 at 6:52pm

What did people actually expect it to be made out of REAL GOLD??? Are you joking??? And they strictly only talk about the colors....wow....have they seen the early benchmarks?!?!? 64 bit architecture dude. And the whole new camera lens design. They're choosing to leave out all the details that actually matter. This is almost as funny as Microsoft trying to bash the iPad when they had over 900 million dollars worth in surface tablets unsold. Unbelievable.
