Apple's Newest Ad Says We're Ready for Wearables, Now

Are regular people really ready for mini-computers embedded into glasses, shirts and watches? Maybe.

But they’re already ready for other wearables, which you can buy right now.

That’s the message — or at least one of them — Apple is conveying with its newest ad. The spot, ostensibly about all the ways iPhones can make you stronger, faster and more pleased with yourself, also highlights real-world uses for several wearables and other accessories, all available for purchase today.

See if you can catalog them:

For those playing along at home, here’s the gadget list: Wahoo Fitness Blue SC Speed/Cadence Sensor, Withings Health Mate, Zepp Golf Sensor, Misfit Shine and Adidas miCoach Smart Ball. And of course, the iPhone itself is already a wearable, if you want to make it one.

What about that song? If you’re of a certain age, you’ll remember it from gym class. For the rest of you, it’s “Chicken Fat,” first created for President Kennedy’s Physical Fitness Program, many moons ago.

We're here to shed some clarity

One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal. Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
