After this, the ad implies that the smartphone now belongs to someone else, who is making memories of his/her own, and in Apple’s terms, “doing their own great things with it....

So much phone ogling! The 40 second ad titled, “Experience Brilliant Style,” starts with a small group of guys at a restaurant or cafe all set to dive into this one phone that Vicky Kaushal holds in his hands (such is the level of attention that they are paring to it) but a hint of the conversation taking place at another table grabs their attention. Kaushal turns around and finds a small group of girls looking right at their table adoring something (well, he assumes it is him)....
