There seemingly needs to be something controversial in Apple Ads so as they can then be taken offline, so I have to ask...why do they more often than not make the male the one doing something stupid or wrong? Sexist commercial. :D

Seriously, though...this one was pretty damn bad. I found Out Of Office (the Thailand ad) hilarious!

The cat is pedestrian. This ad is poorly directed. The Director should have demanded more emphasis on the iPhone from the cat.

And what is the man doing besides taking cat pictures while his wife reads? Picking his nose? He's doing nothing in context of the scene. Just sitting there being pathetic.

But I like it. Because cats. And for no other reason. Cats make stuff better.

What the guy did to the photo was stupid. Remove the cat and composition becomes unbalanced. All that unnecessary negative space draws your attention away from the supposed subject aka the woman. With the cat in the picture, the composition is balanced. The subject becomes the cat. The woman helps frame the cat which adds interest to the composition.

I would glare at anyone who showed me such a badly composed photo too.
 
I am a super fanboy. Compared to almost any other photo editing app, it vacuums hard. Apple is losing. Samsung and Google software is superior by leaps and bounds. Time to start acquiring like any other smart company.
Side note; I miss the days when the beautiful sold me stuff. Helpfully ai will bring that back.

Nice ad. For now it works on simple subjects. Want it to improve and be good at removing complex objects from the background.

What’s really amazing is how no-one notices Cecil the dog, Bartholomew the chicken, Tarquin the giraffe and Jemima the aardvark are all missing from the scene.
 
I hear her say something like Carrot. He says Garritt.
I heard Gary and Terry... 🤷🏻‍♂️

It seems quite a few people heard two different names. (Even if they were different different names... haha)

It was noticeable enough that I was expecting that his saying the wrong name was going to be part of the plot.
 
Ironically, the dreary, depressed customers and drab music perfectly captures my low enthusiasm for this and all of Apple's current offerings. 🤣

Can Apple finally stop with these embarrassing commercials?

What is this commercial supposed to tell us?
"Hey, you want to know how bad your relationship really is? Use the new iPhone 16 Pro and make a stupid joke. Then you'll know where your problems lie.
And don't worry, to save the situation and prevent an argument, just undo it.
Because if you don't have an iPhone... well, then maybe you'll avoid stupid ideas like that."

Please, can someone explain to me who the target audience for these commercials is?
Ruthless mothers, incompetent employees, hateful partners, blackmailing children... who feels represented or addressed by this?

Remember Apple's Christmas ad in 2013?
A boy who was apparently only looking at his iPhone and then... well, check it out and remember!
That was full of affection, sympathy and had a lovely surprise in the end.
Family togetherness. The iPhone was the focus without dominating the story.

Today, every single ad is practically a warning about Apple's devices and technology.
The competition must be popping the champagne corks after every commercial.
 
honestly how much porn do u have on ur ipad to need 2tb?
Jealous? ;)

It was actually a gift, and I was able to move all the movies and shows I had on two 512GB USB-c thumb drives to the internal storage. Not a single porn title, sorry to disappoint.
 
Is that Wrenn Schmidt? That would make sense, since she’s also in an Apple TV+ show.

Curious why you assume he would be saying the wrong name and not her? (see my previous post about men always being wrong in ads).
