An upcoming episode of U.S. sitcom Modern Family was filmed entirely using Apple gadgets.

The Emmy Award-winning series set aside traditional cameras in favour of the tech company's newest iPhone 6 and iPad models for an episode titled Connection Lost.

The story centres on Julie Bowen's character who is attempting to find her daughter following a fight in the airport as they are waiting to board a flight.

Text messages, emails and FaceTime video chats with the rest of the family will be incorporated into the episode.

Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan tells the New York Times, "Everything was shot on the iPhone 6 or new iPads... With one or two small scenes shot using MACBook Pros."

Connection Lost is set to air in the U.S. on 25 February (15).
