The first advertisement I have witnessed this week is that of Apple Inc. of iPhone XS and iPhone XR ("Introducing iPhone XS and iPhone XR — Apple", 2018). As per my observation and understanding, the marketers of Apple Inc. have used an emotional appeal over rational appeal in the commercial. This is understood because the company has tried to establish an emotional appeal by projecting the exclusivity brand personality of the new launches.
