I've never been very interested in commercials and don't see why I'd be outraged about either of those apple commercials.
What strikes me though is that in 40 years we went from a Macintosh to an iPad, a watch and vr glasses.
I'm actually baffled by the lack of progress made given so much time and resources. There was so much optimism about microcomputers, yet so little has been accomplished.

there has been tons of progress made, just for shareholders, not users of the actual technology. SaaSification, subscriptions, weaponized feature tiers, emotional manipulation. We are living in the golden age of marketing, sales, and consumerism.

I never thought I'd see a Kotaku article posted on HN. If there was a quality bar that submissions need to meet, none of their articles would come close.
It seems like these people have nothing else to do but to be upset about something?
Manufactured outrage at its finest.
It is a terrible ad and I don't think Steve Jobs would have let it air.
