Apple shares ‘Someday At Christmas’ ad starring Stevie Wonder & Andra Day

 

Just one day before Thanksgiving in the US and a month before Christmas, Apple has shared its annual holiday ad on YouTube.

From our family to yours, Andra Day and Stevie Wonder perform his 1967 holiday classic, “Someday At Christmas.

The video spans about a minute and a half, featuring legendary artist Stevie Wonder (a known Apple fan) performing with Andra Day, with various Apple products including MacBooks running GarageBand and Apple Watches in view. At the start of the video, Wonder, who has been blind since shortly after birth, uses OS X’s built-in VoiceOver accessibility features to mix a song in the audio editing software that comes with each Mac. The holiday ad wraps with a “Love, Apple” sign off. Check it out below:

    Can’t see anyone hooking up their games console (or anything else non-apple) to their iMac to use it as a monitor. Oh yes, that’s because Apple have blocked it. They are a closed shop company masquerading as liberal. In other words Liars, Cheats and Thieves.

      Apple makes products for normal people, not wack jobs.

      1. Target Display Mode. Plenty of Youtube vids of ps4s being hooked into iMacs. The one with the witcher 3 on a 5k is the best example.
      2. Apple very much is a closed shop company, and that’s why they have the best ecosystem on the planet. (though the core of apples systems are an open sourced BSD variant called Darwin)(just as sonys ps4 is also a BSD variant called Orbis)
      3. “masquerading as liberal”. Apple is a very liberal company. From dress policy, acceptance of tattoos, religious distance,, speaking out on human rights, CEO is gay, etc …
      4. ” Liers, Cheats, & Theifs”…. Your just an ignorant idiot.

    Well done, Apple. Heartwarming, soulful, and instantly classic.
