Apparently they're already in the festive mood in Cupertino, where a new Christmas ad called "The Song" has just been released. In it, Apple again plays on emotions and rather than on its products, which of course interweave the entire video, it focuses on an engaging story.

The entire spot revolves around a young girl who comes across an old gramophone record on which her grandmother sings "Love Is Here to Stay". In 1952, she told her husband that they could not be together for Christmas. Her granddaughter decides to learn the song and ends up recording it on several instruments, then combining her version with her grandmother's original.

The ad ends with a moved grandmother watching her granddaughter's mini work on an iPad and remembering her husband by looking at old photos.

Next to the iPad mini, we mainly see the MacBook Air in the ad, but its appearance could be characterized as "product placement" in a well-executed story. Similarly, Apple already scored a year ago with advertising "Misunderstood", which eventually she got Emmy Award.
