Meh. I just don't feel like watching a five minute Apple ad starring Pedro Pascal. Maybe it's time for me to quit this business.

I like that they paid people to make a 5 minute film and it wasn’t AI like Coke is doing.

Since every phone is the same, every ad is the same. Apart from that kid of a bike, I liked that one.

To me, this is no better than all those lazy commercials where someone takes a sip of (insert soda here) or a bite of (insert food/candy/snack here) and they love it so much they start dancing, wheeeeeeee!!! But we are all supposed to think it’s cool because it’s Apple and there’s a celebrity in it and they had money for high production value.

But I would be humblebragging about it on LinkedIn every 13 seconds if I had made it. 🤣
