I feel in the minority, but took the ad as if it was compressing all those things into the iPad, not “destroying” them. Maybe it’s a glass half full kind of thing.
- culopatin 2y agoSame here. I feel like it’s anti waste if anything.
- pipo234 2y agoWell, framing it as compression I would like to suggest this commercial falls in the lossy compression category. (And I don't consider myself an audiophile.)
- vouaobrasil 2y agoI think that was the intent of the ad, indeed. However, the fact that destruction was used is disrespectful to those items nevertheless. After all, the items were produced from metals unsustainably extracted from the earth, and are a gift to us borne from the pain of the planet. It is the same concept as if you were to destroy a gift given to you by a friend. Of course, the point beyond that is that the use of destruction is reflective of the reality of modern "civilization" and goes beyond the point of the ad.

Nobody complained when Christopher Nolan crashed a Boeing 747 into a building and then blew it up, all for a movie. Arguably that's worse than whatever was destroyed in Apple's ad. What's the reason for the discrepancy? [1] https://screenrant.com/tenet-christopher-nolan-plane-crash-stunt-real-explained/ https://screenrant.com/tenet-christopher-nolan-plane-crash-s...
- vouaobrasil 2y agoI complain all the time...no one listens. hahah. To be fair, I do not think destruction of anything in movies is ever a good idea.
- azinman2 2y agoDo you really believe this? If so, you must really hate everything about the modern world. You’d also be super shocked to learn how the machine you’re typing these messages on came to be.
- vouaobrasil 2y agoYes, I do, and I abhor modern civilization.
- fullshark 2y agoThey wanted it both ways, to make that point, but also have the striking imagery of those objects being destroyed to get your attention.
