Ubuntu nothwistanding, I found the Apple ads quite offensive.

Ads tell you what the company thinks about it's target audience and clearly Apple thinks we're all just a bunch of bumbling fools that can't do anything without our phones.

Compared to this Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, which frames everything as something that can help you out and is fun and quirky: https://youtu.be/GZ-xGBTvtO4

I've been using Mac as my workhorse my entire career, switched from Android to iPhone recently. These ads are actually making me reconsider what my next hardware upgrades are going to be.

He's out of line, but he's right.


I'm fully aware that Apple has always targeted people who are less tech literate, but this is just another level.
