Apple has produced a host of video ads for the Apple Watch that feature just the wrist wearable, but its latest stars ride-hailing company Uber.
The commercial shows a couple interrupted in an almost-kiss by the woman’s Apple Watch, which alerts her that her Uber has arrived. She swipes up to dismiss it and the tag line “Take Your Time” appears as the duo embrace.
So are Apple and Uber the new power couple? We’ve reached out to both to find out which company proposed the commercial, who paid for it and whether it will be airing on television. We’ll update when we hear back.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
