A man in a tank top is showing off his muscles and having his mother take a photo of him.

So the man used Apple Intelligence, the AI system available on the iPhone 16 series, to edit the photo and remove his mother from the shot.

The background music is a track titled “Workout,” perfectly suited for a commercial that highlights a fit physique.

Many of you who saw this commercial were probably curious about the song used in it.

And even if you looked for it, you might have had a hard time finding it.

That’s because it’s actually a cover of Elvis Presley’s 1968 release “If I Can Dream.” The original has a rock ’n’ roll vibe, but the cover is arranged more like jazz, so many people may not have noticed.
