In a new advertisement for its iPhone, Apple prominently features two popular mobile payment applications. The ad, entitled “Apps,” pitches the wide variety of applications available for the iPhone through Apple's App Store. It also demonstrates the ease with which the applications can be downloaded to the device. 

The two apps shown in the ad are the new mobile payment application for Starbucks and Delta Airline’s flight monitoring and check-in app.

In demonstrating those two applications, the ad provides a quick lesson in how smartphones are now being used to make transactions and connect consumers to their important data.

The ad is currently running nationally. It can be viewed at Apple's site.
