Apple commercials: A collection of ads showcasing refined direction (61–70)

Apple M2 chip MacBook Air “Leave it to Mac” version

Leave that to Mac, too. (CM)

The M2 chip MacBook Air: “Leave it to Mac.” The charm lies in the contrast of showcasing the latest device with an old-school soundtrack.

The song that underpins this commercial, “Nervous Like Me,” is by The Dap-Kings, a funk band based in Brooklyn.

Their musical style is similar to tracks that were frequently sampled in 1980s hip-hop, so I think it’s easy to enjoy for hip-hop fans as well.

Apple Watch: “Manage your health at a glance.”

Apple Watch Series 6 CM: "Manage your health at a glance." 30-second version

WAZGOGG is a leading DJ from the Tohoku region.

Rather than a DJ who plays music through remixes, he’s active as a DJ who competes using turntable-focused techniques.

His renowned track “YYY” was used in the Apple Watch commercial “Apple Watch: ‘A quick glance for your health.’” It’s a simple techno track, but its inorganic, mechanical-feeling melody matches the atmosphere of a commercial themed around monitoring and management.

The drop is unique as well, so be sure to listen to the parts that don’t appear in the ad.

AirPods (3rd generation)

This commercial introduces the features built into the third-generation AirPods and conveys a user-centric approach.

The colorful backgrounds leave a strong impression, and the scene transitions clearly communicate how the audio is adjusted to suit each user’s individuality.

The vibrant visuals, which also convey a sense of weightlessness, are accentuated by a digital BGM where various sounds overlap.

With an arrangement of digital, floating tones that resound irregularly, it effectively expresses technological progress and a near-futuristic atmosphere.

In the Apple Watch Series 4 commercial “Better You,” a woman is guided by her Apple Watch to move her body in everyday life.

When she goes to take the elevator or escalator, she’s pulled toward the stairs instead—cleverly showing how Apple Watch encourages you to be active.

The background music features “Player” by the hip-hop duo chelmico.

With lyrics that portray pushing forward with all your might, the song is striking and sure to put you in a positive mood.
