Verizon and iPhone wanted to drop the new iPhone 15 in a really, REALLY big way. So we made a first-of-its-kind augmented reality experience with reggaeton superstar J Balvin, represented as a 300-foot towering virtual avatar, dropping the new iPhones across America. J Balvin, himself, invited the country to β€œCatch My iPhone”

Fans swiped J Balvin out of our social ads and into the real world, hulking above their homes, where they could catch and win the new iPhone while listening to his new single β€œdientes”.
