Apple: We're so environmentally friendly! Also Apple: We still use these fancy boxes that are a pain in the ass to recycle and will more than likely just end up in the trash anyway. They can't be reused for literally anything else because of their size, shape, and way they're glued together. Also, the materials aren't eco-friendly. But who cares because we stopped giving away power bricks and wrap the cables in paper instead of plastic! So Eco Friendly! Also Apple: Let's take this pile of useful nice stuff, some of which has collector value, and smash it all to make a commercial. Also they really need to get out of their own ass here. The iPad isn't a piano. The iPad isn't a guitar. You cannot replace any of those musical instruments with an iPad. You can't paint on canvas with an iPad, so destroying paint is silly. I won't go with "sensitive" here. I see it as tasteless waste. That commercial is tacky AF. What are they trying to market the iPad to? "Fuck your feelings" types that just bought a new cybertruck and have more money than brains?

They are also notoriously anti-repair, block access to spare parts (despite their recent fake pro-repair marketing) so all their repairable products end up in landfills. People are focusing on the irrelevant ad, but the real harm is elsewhere.

To be fair, you probably can paint on canvas with an iPad, if the canvas is sufficiently large and you use the impasto technique.

The things were cgi, nothing was destroyed in the process.

The commercial uses a ton of CGI, props, and camera tricks, so how can you be sure it was environmentally unfriendly?
