Two Questions concerning this iPhone Christmas Commercial

 


1.  How tone-deaf does Apple have to be to be pimping thousand-dollar iPhones as perfectly reasonable Christmas gifts "for the whole family?"  I don't give a damn if it's got "excellent cameras" whatever the hell that means.  For the vast majority of Americans, the only way to get one of these things is to strain their credit limits (again) or sign up for a ruinous-in-slow-motion "monthly plan" that will have them deciding between Medication and Food before the tree gets dragged out to the curb.

2.  I know who Jeff Bridges is.  But am I really supposed to know this Zoe person?  May I ask why?  And may I ask how she's connected to Mr. Bridges to the point where they appear to be living in a group home in some of these ads?  Am I just too old for this, or what?
