The Apple iPad Pro "Crush" ad controversy began with the ad's release on May 7, 2024, which featured a hydraulic press crushing various creative objects, symbolizing that all these activities could now be done on an iPad. The ad, intended to showcase the iPad Pro's capabilities, was criticized for its message that seemed to undermine traditional forms of creativity. Highprofile critics like actor Hugh Grant and filmmaker Justine Bateman expressed their concerns, with Grant calling it "the destruction of the human experience, courtesy of Silicon Valley." Apple's VP of marketing communications, Tor Myhren, issued an apology on May 9, 2024, acknowledging the ad "missed the mark" and stating, "Creativity is in our DNA at Apple... We're sorry." Despite the apology, the ad remains online, but plans for a TV campaign were scrapped.

In this Heliophobian video, we analyse the online criticism and if the title wasn't enough for you to deduce it explain personally why I feel it's a massive overreaction.
