Hey Apple, I have this great idea for a next spot where we burn a pile of books. Call me.

This is manufactured outrage to make apple seem edgy.
I wouldn’t give a ratass about this if people didn’t make articles about it
This is plenty valid to be upset at - especially when contrasted with all of the current stories about platforms removing access to “owned” digital media.
They want to crush, destroy, eliminate all of your physical media and creative outlets, shift you to fully digital, and then hold the kill switch hostage behind an always shifting subscription.
Some people care too much about an ad. I guess some people can’t live without at least a single controversy per day.
You could probably take any ad and argue why it’s offensive to some people in some way.
Tbf, I don’t think you looked at this with much depth. No decisions in the corporate world, at this scale, are done fast and in a vacuum.

I get that this ad implies the (new) iPad can replace all the other stuff that got crushed, I just don’t get how this can be so upsetting to people: it’s an ad for a product. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. Apple is hardly going to destroy the market for all the stuff that got crushed.
I can disagree with something and still not be offended or upset by it. As I said, sometimes I feel like some people want to be offended/upset.
Y’all just looking to be mad at apple. I can’t believe this is going to generate clicks 🙄.
This ad is literally the perfect opposite of their famous Think different ad:
We have an actual gigantic, unfeeling machine, literally crushing an effigy of the sum total of human creativity, only to proudly declare that everyone now needs to do all those things in the same, apple-approved way.
And the real irony is that’s the actual message they’re trying to get across.
Yes, much more feeling machines on the Linux side of things 🙄
Oh God they can generate instrument noises and make movies and shit, look at the creativity being crushed!
