Now that we’re on the day before Thanksgiving it seems that certain brands are pushing their latest products with a hint of the holiday season attached to them, and for Apple this means a new TV commercial that promotes sharing during Thanksgiving Day dinner for 2012. You can see the video below this article that shows some really tasty pies and other dinner all being served during a mock Thanksgiving Day, which Apple wants to give iPhone users ideas on how to use iOS 6 and their iPhone during Thanksgiving and one way to do this is to use Photo Stream.

Apple’s Photo Stream allows iDevice owners to use iCloud to share a photo taken during Thanksgiving Day dinner, which will then automatically appear on all other devices that belong to you. If you’ve setup a shared photo stream then these photos are then shared with other friends and family, so when you capture those special moments they’re shared within minutes. It is worth noting that some people disabled iCloud when they first setup their iOS device, so this would need to be turned on or you will run into problems.

Do you have Photo Stream setup to be shared with loved ones? We’ve found it a great way to share photos with people at great distances within minutes, which has really changed the way we capture and share memories. If you’re an iOS device owner, will you use Photo Stream during the 2012 Thanksgiving Day dinner?
