Looks lovely, too bad that's not the way parents really use their iPhone.

Realistic iPhone commercial:
- Kid wants to tell parent something, parent's face buried in iPhone looking at email
- Kid is unattended while parent plays Candy Crush, kid breaks something, parent blames and yells at kid (after finishing Candy Crush round)
- Kid keeps talking in the car, parent puts something on phone and tells the kid to "here, be quiet and play with this"
- Kid buys $1000 in In-App purchases. Parent blames Apple.

Apple, changing the world!
