12 Days of Christmas? New Apple Ad Shows There’s Apps for That

Apple’s latest iPhone ad revisits that old holiday chestnut “The 12 Days of Christmas” with a lucky smartphone owner breezing through the rigors of the season with a few effortless finger scrolls.

The coolest one, the last, turns on your Christmas tree. Though Apple has added a page on iTunes of apps featured in ads, this one’s not on it. We have it on good authority that it’s  Schlage LiNK, a free app (requires extra hardware, though) designed as a remote control for home door locks.

Here’s the complete holiday app line up from the ad:

- 12 cookies cooking: The Betty Crocker Mobile Cookbook [gratis]
- 11 cards a’ sending: Postman [ $2.99]
- 10 gifts for giving: My Christmas Gift List [ $0.99]
