I don’t really care everyone in Ted Lasso uses Apple products, I’m just happy to see real user interfaces instead of that bs Hollywood fake UI nonsense lol
I find it funny that throughout the show, you can tell when NBC and Apple were on good and bad terms.Worked both ways, Steve Jobs showed The Office at least 2 times during keynotes and that is what got me to watch it.
Fair comment - I just tend to notice Apple products as opposed to anything else. Tim and Co really do push the beautiful people stuff though - no doubt we will see some more nauseating ads tomorrow!For clarity, Apple neither invented nor is the only company to place products in shows. Neither did they invent the rules by which those products are shown. When Dell has product placement in a show and all you see are Dell logos on every computer that is not "Dell-washing"?
While feigned outrage plays well on MacRumours in this case it is completely divorced from reality.
You actually care?This is one of the worst things Apples does and cheapens every single one of their shows.
To be fair, during the time of filming season 4, Blackberry was still the standard for corporations and enterprise.I find it funny that throughout the show, you can tell when NBC and Apple were on good and bad terms.
seasons 2 and 3: Michael buys an iPod video for the Christmas party that everyone wants, Michael makes his corporate video using a Mac, Michael previews a song from iTunes.
season four: Ryan forces the entire office to use blackberries, Michael download a song from Amazon MP3, etc.
Ha, Ha, you know they've gone to far when you see a 24" Pink iMac, from 2021, on the American Moon base in the 1970"s Or maybe Jason Momoa on SEE taking a call on the iPhone 13 Pro. ?“Strategic?” They’re literally all over the place in their shows. Other than “For All Mankind” and “See,” for obvious reasons, it’s like Apple is the only tech company in these worlds. Funny part was when they were busted for editing out the notch on an iPhone 12 in an episode of Ted Lasso a couple weeks ago, as it proves even Apple is embarrassed about that thing.
When you see the logo has been obscured, a process refer to as "greeking", as in "hey, greek out that logo" it is a case where the manufacturer is not paying for product placement. The production company does not want to feature the logo because that could cause problems with other advertisers (speaking broadcast TV) and/or lead to litigation if the owner of the logo feels it is not being used appropriately.It’s not just Apple TV+, it is most shows on most networks (at least the ones that I watch), though the Apple logo is often obscured. I think it’s because many people consider Apple products to be “iconic” and they are readily available in the studios. That and Apple has a great product place team.
Keep on wishing. Some day your dream will come true.I positively LONG for an advert showing a grossly fat family glued to their sofas, ordering a shipping container of fried chicken to be delivered to their door, and them using the iPhone and/or watches to order and pay for their tasty meal.
Notch is forever better than the Anus Camera Prosser predicts for the iPhone 14.“Strategic?” They’re literally all over the place in their shows.

In other words, if you're going through a divorce, Apple devices can help you finalize it. That's a unique sales pitch.Lastly, with plot connections, Apple TV+ show writers and producers aim to make direct emotional and physiological connections for viewers between a device and a character's life story. As referenced in the video, in particular scenes of Ted Lasso, Ted can be seen using his iPhone to help him connect with his wife as they complete a divorce.
The more Apple stock you have, the more you laugh.Apple is becoming a laughing stock.
