Actor Neil Patrick Harris has once again joined Apple to promote the iPhone 6s, this time in a new TV ad where the Oscar and Tony host dictates notes to his iPhone using its "Hey Siri" handsfree capabilities.
In the new 30-second ad, Harris prompts his phone to read a saved memo from the Notes app using only his voice. Siri responds accordingly, allowing Harris to freshen up his tuxedo and practice the speech without touching the iPhone 6s.
The ad ends with a joke regarding the robotic nature of Siri's voice, as Harris tells the mirror he'll "be a lot more natural."
Harris was the one handing out an award in the last iPhone 6s ad, which focused on the high-resolution 4K camera and its filmmaking capabilities.
Apple has mostly chosen to focus on individual iPhone 6s features in ads for its latest-generation smartphone. The company previously spotlighted handsfree "Hey Siri" capabilities in an ad that featured a very different type of celebrity than Harris — Â Sesame Street's Cookie Monster.

Siri has been pissing me off lately.
I hope iOS 10 gets a HUGE Siri revamp. She's more frustrating than useful right now. ESPECIALLY on Apple TV where we find ourselves doing everything manually to avoid the dumb voice assistant.
No @sog35, but your comment allows me to guess some things about you.
