Not overreacting, but that kind of spam behavior is not what is expected from Apple.

I wonder where this was filmed? Anybody standing around that area when they all started running possibly would have thought that it was a prison break instead of an Apple ad
Prague, Czech Republic
There is not.
As a habit, I always opt out of EVERY SINGLE marketing emails.
An unsolicited email is count as spam.
About 10 years ago I saw Mac ads on television all the time. The “I’m a Mac” campaign. But I don’t think I’ve seen any Mac ads on TV for the past few years.
Hopefully the audience won’t take it literally. The new iPhone XR featuring 16 color CGA graphics.
Why pay insane amounts of money on advertising with a limited consumer penetration? Web ads are far cheaper and reach multitudes more potential consumers.
TV ads have their use but it is not the “end all” of marketing as it once was.
Reminds me of the episode of Mad Men when Don tepidly “pitches” using flyers to sell Jaguar automobiles.They are also desperate enough to send me this in the email!
WTF, Apple?!

I spend quite a lot of time everyday on the web yet the commercials I remember most are the ones on TV. I don’t think I even see Mac ads on the web very often except when I come to this or other Apple related websites.
[doublepost=1546121833][/doublepost]The ad doesn’t appeal to me but I can’t help but be impressed by the people who do parkour. If I ever tried yo do anything like that I would split my skull in halves.
or even better: "We'll make room in your wallet".

It's Apple's shiny new marketing buzzword. Do not question it!
Just wait for the Super Liquid Retina Display SE, coming to overpriced retailers near you.
Oh man, Apple's got it this time.. How did they know? All I need is 1 or 2 more ads and I'll be brand-aware of iphones. 1-2 more ad viewings and I'll be dropping $749 to upgrade by iphone 6... Am I the only one that wants them to learn a hard lesson?
Peak of Apple innovation:
Iphone 6
Macbook pro 2015
ultra-thin imac
*maybe* apple watch....
after that, jobs croaked and we're left with mr. stock valuation. All he cares about is making Apple the fashion company that pumps out expensive iphones.
Now, apple the fashion company is pumping out boring, overpriced, outdated, under performing devices.
Welcome to the notch era, a time when all phone screens were f*cked up.

The imagery was gloomy:
- Colored jumpsuits (faded) --> Prisoners
- Setting --> Depressing Eastern Bloc brutalist architecture
- Motion --> Escape/frantic desperation.

its a crazy good display, but all you see is red anyway.

I like eastern architecture although this much symmetry was more popular among the nazis and still is in the us.The imagery was gloomy:
Should've filmed in the dark and copied the Beijing Olympics:
- Colored jumpsuits (faded) --> Prisoners
- Setting --> Depressing Eastern Bloc brutalist architecture
- Motion --> Escape/frantic desperation.
same as "Retina Display" but now with rounded corners.
Otherwise, it is meaningless marketing.
I think it’s a cool ad (I’m a parcour fan). I’m wondering if these ads make any difference in buying choices though. Obviously Apple thinks so.
They still use TBWA\Chiat\Day. Or technically, Media Arts Lab, TBWA\Chiat\Day’s offshoot that was started originally (in the Steve Jobs years) just to handle the Apple account. They don’t use them for everything, but they use them for a lot, and I’d be surprised if this wasn’t there work as well.
I think Cosmo Sheldrake's music is fantastic. I went to his website and was thoroughly entertained.
