Apple Debuts Pair of New iPhone 6 TV Commercials

Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake are at it again, this time in another pair of Apple television commercials for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. According to MacRumors, the fifth and sixth ads in this series focus on the gaming capabilities of the latest smartphone models, as well as iOS 8's ability to make and receive telephone calls on a Mac.

"The A8 chip is so powerful it brings gaming to the next level. I mean if you're into that kind of thing," Fallon quips in the first spot entitled "Gamers," which shows the duo squaring off with a round of online battle arena game Vainglory.

"Did you know you can use an iPhone 6 to make a call from almost any Apple device?" Fallon inquires in the second commercial entitled "Reservations," which puts the focus on Continuity as the pair begin goofing around making calls between various devices.

Both new commercials are embedded above for your viewing pleasure, or can be viewed directly from the Apple website or the company's official YouTube channel.

Universal Rescues Orphaned Steve Jobs Biopic from Sony

Talk about fast turnarounds: The Hollywood Reporter announced Monday evening that the biopic on the life of Steve Jobs has found a new home at Universal Pictures, less than a week after being ejected from Sony. Based on the late Apple co-founder's official biography written by Walter Isaacson, the project has been in development for two years, and reportedly fetched upwards of $30 million.

The article also confirmed earlier reports that Michael Fassbender is attached to the project to star as Steve Jobs, with director Danny Boyle at the helm working from a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin. No start date has been announced for the production, but Boyle reportedly pushed for an early 2015 shoot to accommodate Fassbender's schedule, which was cited as one of the reasons Sony abandoned the project.
