Siri Becomes Santa’s Little Helper in Latest TV Ad

Apple aired a cute Christmas themed TV ad just in time for the holidays. Santa Claus is the star of the commercial and he is using the iPhone 4S and its most popular feature, Siri, to manage his Christmas Eve deliveries. They found creative ways for Santa to demonstrate the many uses of Siri such as looking up directions, searching for emails (specifically one containing a “Naughty or Nice list”), and he even received a funny SMS message from Mrs. Claus which Siri read to him.

The video can be seen with the rest of Apple’s video ads on their website or just check out the video after the break.

Santa: How does the rest of my day look? Siri: You have 3.7 billion appointments
