Beautifully produced, but nonsensical and the music isn't great.
Got a tip for us?

Not my style of music, but I thought it was cute
This ad felt way too similar to Apple's regular-size HomePod ad they did a few years ago. That ad was done much better than this one too. Normally I like Apple's ads but didn't care for this one too much.
I can read people’s minds easily it is my superpower after all. Works anywhere. Now let the down votes happen.
This is the perfect holiday card for 2020:
Soulless. Devoid of emotion. no holiday spirit.
these are normally wonderful. This is terrible.

I easily know how old someone is even in this thread if they are thinking of their age.
This ad is not the best in that it’s kinda nonsensical and just isn’t very effective to me.

I tried your tips: breathing deeply and listening at normal volume. I even closed my eyes, but it didn't help. All I hear is an annoying 4-bar loop of whistling over a programmed beat. I don't mind the vocal, but sorry I really dislike this type of music. And I listen, play and record many different genres, from rock to jazz, to classical and electronic music.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?
Agree. I am a shareholder and have been for years and years. Own thousands and thousands of shares and want to support the company. But it is getting harder and harder.
At least it isnt impacting the stock price. But cant imagine how this kind of ad helps the sales numbers in any appreciable way.....
I dream about a world where no one is judged no matter their appearance, sexuality, disability, or race.
Easily the worst Apple ad ever, not just the worst Christmas Ad.
No emotional connection, no product education, no excitement.... actually make me question if the HomePod mini's that I ordered will leave me as flat as this ad did.

I already know 100% almost everyone’s age here now. Interesting results.
Not judging anything, but I do not like it - it is as simple as that.
Time, music and taste changes, but I will play "Wham" now...

That makes me so sad. If I didn't see the Apple logo or know what a HomePod mini was I would have though this was another poorly done Samsung Galaxy commercial.
It *may* appeal to the fans of Tierra Whack - maybe. It lacks emotional connection, product information, product excitement, and it tarnish's a polished Apple brand.
We all just got Scrooged!
That the thing about the internet people think their anonymous when they never were.
Pretty sure this is a HomePod mini ad for the holidays, not their annual holiday ad.
The internet sometimes brings out the worst in people.
Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Leontyne Price, Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, de La Rocha, Shumsky, Clapton, Perlman, Mutter, Argerich THEY are brilliant.
How many drugs were the creatives behind this on?
All of them. All the drugs.
Yes, friends, the 80's are truly back again.

Think of all that COVID 19 on that scarf
That’s all I could think of. It made my skin crawl
