Apple released an advertisement showcasing Siri starring former pro-wrestler turned film star, Dwayne (‘The Rock’) Johnson. Teased yesterday by Johnson on Twitter and Facebook, the video, posted to Apple’s YouTube channel, features Johnson accomplishing a long list of life goals with the help of Siri during a single day. The tongue-in-cheek spot highlights several Siri features such as:
- reading Johnson’s schedule;
- creating a reminder;
- scheduling a Lyft ride;
- getting the weather forecast;
- reading email;
- displaying photos;
- texting someone;
- converting measurements;
- playing a playlist;
- starting a FaceTime call; and
- taking a selfie.
The Siri ad is a clever and entertaining way of explaining the breadth of tasks that can be accomplished with Siri, from the basics like weather forecasts to less well-known features like taking a selfie.
