I don't get what's so wrong. People really need to go out and see the sun. Nobody is telling anyone to use an iPad instead of real musical instruments, real painting tools, etc. It's just a clever ad, that shows what new technology may bring to us and what's actually possible now.

 

The only crime is that they stole the pressing **** from TikTok, jk

The capitalist ad you all "loved" was not just problematic but it was directly stolen & copy pasted from an LG ad too, which also made the headlines. just so you know.  

 

fraudulent and copied, like anything Apple does.

I was waiting to see something egregious and was confused by the end of the video with what was wrong about the ad

All ads are capitalist

imagine stanning company as your personality

Fire the firm who came up with this because the messaging is backwards. 

 

It's not offensive like y'all are making it out to be but it's terrible advertising.

Well none of them are this on the nose.... It's almost giving a parody Apple ad posted by a fake Tim Cook account  it's not getting backlash over nothing.

[flower moon]

well at least that made this lame, boring , and expected release a little more exciting! wait cant to not buy this waste of money product

[Margaux]

how is this bad. it mirrors that all these things can be replicated using ipad. i swear people nowadays fail to realize context clues and subtlety

[Tusk]

Apple Only Breaks It's Favorite Toys

the ad is dumb but the level of fuming and anger for no reason at Apple as if every other company isn't trash as well was surprising to me until I saw that the OP thinks Xflop is better than PS5, now it all makes sense

the vandetta and hatred op has against apple needs to be studied because it's not normal to me 😭

[Kiss It Better]

honestly i'm surprised that people are offended over that....  when i watched this part on the live stream i thought it makes sense cause the ipad was supposed to be a tool that can be used for all of that (arts, music, editing, etc)
