Scroll down for a look at what people are saying about Long's new ad. The fact that Long is still using an iPhone himself is just icing on that cake. To see Long back in the computer world years later strikes many fans as funny, though it has others feeling jaded.

He stands in a blank white void as music plays reminding viewers of the old commercials, but he says: "I'm just a real person doing a real comparison between a Mac and a PC." While this nostalgia-driven commercial piqued fans' interests, many couldn't help but notice that Long was still holding an iPhone in his banner photo on Twitter.
Justin," Long says in one of his new advertisements.
