Who Is The Band In The iPhone 15 Commercial? The Real Answer May Disappoint You

Apple's laugh-out-loud commercial for the iPhone 15's portrait mode feels like it's ripped directly from a sitcom, showing a bickering band trying to figure out what their next album cover should be. In the lengthy ad, a bandmate is playing the guitar while another is on their iPhone, playing around with the device's portrait mode feature. The bandmate on their phone specifically wants to focus on themselves in the photo, putting the other two bandmates out of focus. And as great as the photo looks, the other members of the band aren't having it, which leads to a hilarious back-and-forth between the trio. 

While their chemistry and banter are infectious and feel way too rooted in reality to ignore, the band from the iPhone 15 commercial isn't real. The entire commercial is composed of actors. The lead singer is played by Chloé Wepper, who has appeared in a number of Hollywood and other commercial projects.

Audiences shouldn't feel wrong for assuming that the iPhone 15 commercial features a real band. After all, Apple has a notable history of highlighting various artists and talents in their commercials. Apple's immensely popular "Shot on iPhone" campaign has highlighted how heavyweight artists like Olivia Rodrigo are using the smart device for their music videos. When it came time to boost Apple Music's clout in the streaming space, the Tim Cook-led company debuted commercials featuring Drake and Taylor Swift to promote the streaming service. The company even recently tied down "Wonka" actor Timothée Chalamet for a campaign to promote its Apple TV+ service.

The most prominent person in the iPhone 15 commercial is the band member who wants to be solely featured on the album cover. Throughout the commercial, the singer insists that they should take the spotlight. After all, the album is based on their breakup. They're played by Chloé Wepper, who has appeared in films like the Jason Bateman-starring "Office Christmas Party." The other two bandmates don't have the same footprint as Wepper, so here's hoping the hilarious iPhone 15 commercial propels them to popularity.

Wepper also recently appeared in the Netflix family comedy "Family Switch," starring Jennifer Garner, and has popped up on television programs like "Criminal Minds" and "Silicon Valley." On Season 2 of "Star Trek: Picard," she plays Gabi. The actress, however, is most known for her commercial offerings. She can be seen in a 2022 GEICO commercial that highlights the perils of owning a Victorian-style home, and she plays a prominent part in a BEHR paint commercial that debuted in 2023. 

Based on how popular the iPhone ad seems to be, here's hoping that we see Apple unite the band for another hilarious commercial.
