Am I the only person thoroughly disgusted by the use of language like "meet the new iPhone" and "say hello to the new iPhone" as if this piece of glass, metal and electronics is a sentient being that is going to be a true and trusted friend, every bit a part of my life as parents, siblings and other human forms that used to be part of people's lives until they were replaced by glowing boxes?
Does it not help at all that we see a person staring at their screen while in the driver's seat of a car? Is it even less helpful to note that there are literally thousands of Tiktokers who regularly post while actually driving their cars?
I don't want to "meet" the 16th version of your new phone, Apple. I've never owned an iPhone and don't intend to ever own one. Yes, I do have a Smartphone but it's something I purchased. I didn't "meet" it and I sure as hell never said "hello" to it because it's a freaking tool- kind of like the person who came up with this stupid, overproduced pile of garbage you call a commercial.
