Apple's Annual Holiday Ad Revolves Around 'The Magic of Mini'

[MacRumors]

Apple today shared its annual holiday ad on YouTube, titled "The magic of mini," showing how music can help improve your mood.

As noted by Adweek, this year's edition of the ad features rapper Tierra Whack arriving home to her apartment in a dreary state, but her mood quickly improves after the HomePod mini adds a colorful, miniature version of herself to the equation. "Turn up the holidays with HomePod mini," says Apple. "A little joy never sounded so big."

The full-size HomePod and AirPods Pro also make brief appearances during the ad.

I don’t think that was the annual Xmas add,
Just HomePod mini commercial

I remember the days when you could actually understand the lyrics of a song and holiday songs sounded like holidays. *sigh* those were the times...

this is not music, had to turn it off

 

[duanepatrick]

Love it!

I didn’t like this ad. The previous holiday ads were great. I too think that this is not the annual holiday commercial but an advert for the HomePod mini.

That's what every generation says about their kids' music. When you say it yourself you have gotten old.

The thumbnail was enough for me to know not to click it.

 

[Spock]

What even was that?

 

[Corsig]

All I could think about was that scarf dragging on the dirty ground then bringing it back into her apartment.

<watches video>

.... what?

Good lord their holiday ads keep getting worse. The best one was where the kid appeared to be buried in his phone but he was actually making a home movie. It used traditional Christmas music and tugged at your heart strings. With this one I could barely understand what this chick was rapping. It didn’t make me think of the holidays at all.

Mac mini doesn’t get any love?

 

[Madmic23]

Did the HomePod Mini magically rebox itself at the end of the ad so it could go back to the store?

My thoughts as well.

 

[GenesisST]

I remember in the 90s when I wished that this rap/hip hop phase would end...

I know I don't have to listen to that crap, but it's so ****ing in your face.

 

[AmazeSE]

Mac mini doesn’t get any love?

Yeah. When I saw the the word mini I thought it was some inspirational video about a person using the Mac mini.

It is, according to Adweek. "The spot serves as the brand’s holiday ad for 2020."

Also the fact that it's over 2 minutes long is a sign.

If that is Apple's xmas ad, and they are going to push the HomePod Mini so heavily...they should have made the product more available.

It does have the bow on the Apple logo.

POV: your $299 HomePod turned into a $99 mini, causing you to slip into an hallucinatory state.

 

[Diamond Dog]

What an absolutely terrible ad, let alone that that was supposed to be a Christmas ad!

Not in regards to this kind of crap. I still listen to death metal and heavy metal mostly among lots of other types of music (classic rock, old school rap, reggae, edm, country a little, classical, etc). I know my main music was never mainstream and never will be. BUT this kind of garbage is in the same boat. You will NEVER have the masses looking back and think fondly of hearing this kind of garbage. Again, same with the music I listen to.

I remember people hollering about the same complaint with just about every genre when it has advanced. your comment is like an explicit content label lol. Try to breathe deep and hear whats being said at normal volume. Curious if people judge music based on the artist or how the artist is dressed or the style of music before they actually listen to it?

Heck that same complaint is spoke by so many students when they first read Shakespeare. notice the trend?

There was a time when people had dignity. Pride. What exactly was won in the "culture war" when anything and everything is the order of the day? This person is being made fun of. I'm truly sorry for her.
