Hilarious, a holiday ad about a product (HomePod Mini) that's backordered until after the holidays.
Bad timing I guess.

WOW... You're right. Hah! Lot of people I know are getting these.
Edit: Looks like you could get the white mini sooner (black above):

The full version of one of the songs in the video:
I've been following Tierra for a while, and she is brilliant. Quirky, fun, lighthearted, unique and innovative. One of the most exciting up-and-coming artists in hip-hop. Her energy is incredible live, too.

Well that certainly doesn't live up to the excellent holiday ads of years past. Looks like the creatives took the year off. #2020
What is it @Huck, care to use your words like a big boy?
Well, all I can say is after dragging that scarf across the ground, I hope she doesn’t put it in too hot a wash or it’ll end up smaller than her speaker.
This commercial is hilariously awful. Wtf is this Apple?
Horibble. The so called music, her appearance and, even more important, the fact they choose an "artist" with a Parental Advisory Explicit Content sticker on her album.
RED ALERT, RED ALERT : SHE USES THE WORD NIGGAS IN ONE OF HER SONGS.
Song Unemployed : My niggas eating, they getting minerals (Yo)
One of her other songs is called **** Off.
Really good example for the kids, Apple.

That it has a power cable attached is the lone thing preventing me from purchasing at least one.
I'm hoping they offer a battery-powered version at some pt. Perhaps the always on Siri makes the battery thing tricky. Dunno. I just know I'd like a wireless speaker that plays nice within my Apple ecosystem. Surely I'm not the only one...
The issue I have with their advertising is they should be blowing up the networks with MacBook Pro commercials which they used to do back in the days of the Powerbook. I understand iPhone is the bread and butter but I cannot recall the last time I have seen a MacBook Pro commercial I think it was like 4 years ago.
I have not seen any Apple Watch commercials, HomePod commercials except online. They seem to like those little vignette videos with pro users that are way too long to air on TV.
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?
Yep, unfortunately this thread is a great representation of peak 2020 societal attitudes:
"If I can't identify with it, it's crap."
"Since I've classified it as crap, anyone who would appreciate it is an idiot."
"Since I've determined they are idiots, their opinions are invalid, and I don't have to grant them any respect."
I don't listen to that genre of music very often, and I wouldn't do my *own* teeth like that, but I can still appreciate the cute story in the video.
That was bad, so much autotune. The commercial didn't make since, I wasn't sure what it was even selling. Also was she listening to her OWN music walking down the street? Weird.
In all seriousness, there was a story? Can you explain to me what the story actually was? All I got was “person sad for unknown reason listens to music, hallucinates, and becomes not sad.”
Sounds like a story to me. As with most stories, you're free to make your own interpretation of what it means.
If this really was their holiday ad, given the annum horribilis, they missed a big opportunity. They could have told a story about this year, how their products allow people to come together or feel better given that people can’t hang out with friends and family, etc.
Instead we get an inscrutable ad that evokes no emotion other than bewilderment.

Worst toothpaste commercial ever. 5 out of 5 doctors don't recommend it.
Apple need to look at the UK’s John Lewis festive ads that have been produced over the past 10 years and employ a UK ad agency for the creative work.
awful, tasteless ad. What is happening lately with Apple's ads?
I personally like the ad, but of all Apple’s holiday ads, you had trouble figuring out which product this year’s was selling? Really?
