Because the latest Apple ads I’ve seen are awful. And I gotta ask, who is the woman singing with Stevie Wonder in the Apple Christmas commercial? Is that Stevie and his wife and children? It’s just a bad commercial. It’s like Apple hasn’t even bothered to advertise, because the cell phone companies have done it for them. But this Christmas ad seemed like Apple advertising for itself … and God, it sucks. ---

The ads for the iPhone 6S are horrible. The “big differences” they harp on about in them are, at least as presented, utterly underwhelming and would not inspire me to upgrade. ---

But this Christmas ad seemed like Apple advertising for itself … and God, it sucks. I didn’t see anything wrong with it. Certainly miles better than that shitty one they ran last Christmas. ---
