Even more oddities spotted in the news

"We've squeezed all these tools of creativity into one little gadget!" What's the problem with that?

If that's what they had shown, it would have been an overreaction. What they did show was, to quote Justine Bateman, "crushing the arts."

Also, quoting the article that I linked to:

The ad was not even original. A keen Xitter user pointed out that electronics firm LG used almost exactly the same concept and visual for its smartphone campaign in 2008 – crushed instruments, splattered paint, crumbling hi-fi components, they're all there.

Did Apple copy the ad and hope no one would notice? Was the company that generated a staggering $383 billion in revenue in fiscal 2023 too lazy to check? Either way, it may be a sign that quality has slipped at the brand once considered the gold standard in marketing.

Which is somewhat more important than the fanboi reaction. What happened to Apple's originality?
