iPad Air ad enlists help of (fictional) drug dealer

Here’s a bit of trivia to start the day. Remember the iPad Air ad with the pencil that debuted on Tuesday? The narrator of that video was one Bryan Cranston. You know, Walter White from Breaking Bad.

Cranston’s soft tones assure us that Apple’s latest bit of kit is “extremely simple” but also “extremely power”. We’ll have to take his word for it at this point in time. The iPad Air ad was just one of a number of videos Apple had ready to show off at the event this week.

It’s no surprise that Apple has managed to rally such star power behind its new device, as it will undoubtedly be selling like hot cakes when it releases. The iPad Air is launching on November 1st (next week!), starting at £399.
