A great little story and a great way to advertise the products at the same time. I really liked seeing the iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard.
 
It was cute. Certainly examples of real world experiences many of us are facing day to day. The only thing I didn’t like, because I come from the packaging industry, is that most people / companies in the category know what they’re doing and would have knocked out multiple samples much quicker and professionally. This team was a bunch of clowns, but I suppose that was the point of the commercial.
 


Apple today shared a funny video focused on the problems that people working from home have to deal with, including noisy children, chaotic schedules, communication issues, and more.


The video focuses on showing off Apple products and their capabilities that can be useful when working from home, such as the ability to scan a document with an iPhone, mark up a PDF, Siri Reminders, and more.The seven minute video follows a group of colleagues attempting to work through an important project while overcoming all the problems that come with working remotely, and it comes after a similar "Apple at Work" video that Apple published last year featuring the same actors.

Other highlighted products and features in the video include Memoji, writing with Apple Pencil, Group FaceTime, AirPods, the iPad Pro's measure app, and the sleep tracking feature on the Apple Watch.

Anyone else notice the new iPhones!!??!? The 12 is used by multiple people
 
Feels like I've seen this kind of commercial before, years back. Can't remember for which brand. 🤔

it's "humorous" because not one Macbook with its 720p camera was used for this.
As MacBook fans, its so embarassing to see in zoom meetings (and Celebs on national TV) that the most expensive computer in the room is also the one with the worst video quality.

Hopefully Apple wakes up this year and finally updates the decade old webcam and puts something better With the ARM machines.
The problem with the webcams in Macs is not really the image resolution but the very poor optics/sensors, the whole module is trash sadly, specially if you compare them to the front facing cameras in iOS devices. Anything else but studio lightning and you're transported back to 1999.
As much as I agree with your complaint, I feel a need to remind, the display housing (not the entire system) of a MacBook (Pro) is much thinner than an iPad or iPhone. I would guess no more than 50% of the thickness. So, even if Apple had access to FHD and UHD sensors and suitable lenses of that size, they've probably determined it probably wouldn't be a worthwhile expense to ask of customers.
 
I loved it. And I also love how divisive it is. Shows creativity and risk, IMO. If you hate it, cool. As much as you feel that is the degree to which I enjoyed it.

This was great! As someone who has been working at home since March? I can’t remember .... I sent it to my wife who has had to do way too many Zoom meetings in the same office as me (our home office). We both laughed a lot. Great video.

Only the part just past around 1:42 was "funny"...(and that's pushing it) The rest of it... eh... I just don't vibe with Apple's "normie" sense of humor... and being. (think Tim Cook in interviews)
