Apple Promotes 'Shot on iPhone 15 Pro' Ad Featuring Olivia Rodrigo

[bgillander]

Not a news and not interesting… Never heard of Olivia Rodrigo or any other useless celebrities from superficial woke Disney series. Apple is getting lame, their have demonstrated it with their September Keynote event. It was the worst, wokest, fake and lame Apple and any Keynote ever…😳

I find it strange when people have never heard of someone, yet know about the work history of that someone and have an opinion about it.

So to me, I guess, the paradox of someone posting that they are not interested is interesting.

It reminds me of reading an article years ago about the Barenaked Ladies posting alternate versions of their songs on Napster where they would add verses about not stealing music, and some Napster groupie commented that he never liked the band and would never buy their music again because of these posts, which made me wonder why he would have ever bought the music of a band he hated in the first place.

That seems to be the case with females, it’s like they hit 25 and are replaced by another attractive girl with a few exceptions. Seems looks are 99% of it, talent comes last, where are the normal looking pop stars?

Personally, I would say "Drivers License" as a debut single would be a pretty good statement that her talent does not come last. Admittedly, I have a soft spot for that song because it resulted in one of my all-time favourite SNL sketches a couple of years ago, but the song itself stands very well on its own merit.

During the shoot, you can get your Hottest iPhone Ever.

It's the Leo DiCaprio effect!

So be it, I have no idea who this young lady is, but I'm pretty sure nobody will remember her in a year or so anyway.

Her first album came out three years ago, she won a couple Grammys, and people still remember her, so that theory is sort of already disproven. People kept making music after The Beatles, chief.

Wait, you’ve never heard of her but you know what Bizaardvark was about, a show that literally aired before NPCs like you ever started using the word “woke” like it’s the only word you know (it probably is).

Not cool to key cars. I'm surprised Apple's promoting this.

Just release an iPhone that only does photo/video at this point. More lens, feel free to make them wider/protruding a bit for decent bokeh and noise control. I'd buy a very thin photo/video centric iPhone, it'd still be easier than carrying around the Leica Q3 or something similar...and cheaper

So I think what we’ve established is no one knows who this is

Perhaps.

Meanwhile, creating an account only to like and comment on this very article is telling.

Video is now private.

Video is now private.

Yeah, just realized that too. From unlisted to re-released to now private… maybe it’s all the destruction of property, car’s being keyed, etc mentioned here (I didn’t manage to see this one).
I’m also assuming there’s a bit of a vengeance and retribution theme going on judging from previous news/posts about her videos (I’m one of those that don’t know who the hell she is, and will probably stop knowing again in a couple of weeks).

All of that things that Apple wouldn’t want to associate themselves with, and I would agree with that stance, however the video was supposed to be about using an iPhone for recording music videos…
