It bugged me seeing all those nice things being destroyed.

There's been times in my life when any of those objects would have been nice to use.

That was my reaction too. The destruction. Also bothered by how sloppy/messy it all was. It reminded me of those horror films/TV where an atrocity is being committed and they play a cutesy song.

I felt sad at the end. I wouldn't have traded all those things (life, real memories) for a single computing thingy (where we do not engage life but watch others).

Were any of those objects real?

It appears that your feelings were hurt for some reason that escapes me. I do not know how to respond to that.

Odd response. They were asking if it was CGI.

To me it looks like a combo of CGI bits and real bits.

On second look, it's entirely possible that they were asking that... I had read so many really defensive comments on other sites from Apple users about this ad, that when I saw this comment, it felt really snarky to me.

Your comment made me reevaluate it from a different perspective. It's like a night and day difference. So odd that I no longer see the snark. It seems like an honest question now.

Thanks for this.

To /u/pockybum522, sorry about that. Sometimes when the brain is exposed to a bunch of negativity, it begins to filter in a defensive way. I'm usually on guard for that. I failed this time.
