A comment on Apple made a terrible mistake: it told the truth.

My take is that people hate this ad because unintentionally it made them look at the mirror. Like “look what beautiful things you have traded for this single couch computer”. They realized that they too have helped in enabling Apple to squash all this beautiful things and some to the point of no return, and they didn’t like it at all.

The uproar we see is projected guilt

As cynical as this is, it seems like the right take to me.

I mean, come on! This is clearly a 3D animated piece. The results are too perfect to be real. No instruments came to harm in the making of this video.

Apple could have diffused the rage by flashing a simple disclaimer, but it was more provocative not to. Well played, Apple. Well played.

Version 2 of this ad should be clips of people doing fun things and then "the new ipad has the best screen for watching tiktoks"
