VIDEO: Apple Puts the Genius Bar on TV with New Ads

[_Cubase_]

[citation][nom]jakes69[/nom]is it just me...apple is making all their users look dumb. First it was the Siri commercials now tis.[/citation]

No, first it started with baby music in their ads. Then the use of children's book words like "magical".

Dare I say that Apple's marketing strategy is to treat customers with the same condescension that Steve Jobs treated everybody with?

Those were so incredibly stupid.

Finally Apple is admitting what all we have all known. Apple products are for morons. The tragedy of it all is that their products are much harder to use.

 

[del35]

Apple has single-handedly devalued the word, Genius...

They have also destroyed the idea of open technology, and serviceable hardware. In the final analysis we have to blame the technologically spineless imbeciles and MSM blabbing heads that enable iCrap by turning the clueless hordes into iCashcows that get milked by Apple at every turn.

Yea, I gotta say, I really think they made their customers look like morons.

By in large Apple's customers have always been MORONS.

[citation][nom]freggo[/nom]Let me see what I get from the commercial.If you buy an Apple device you need the help of a Genius to use the thing ?It is that difficult to use???Wow, I better stick with my PC then 🙂[/citation]
[citation][nom]Kami3k[/nom]Went to each one and disliked it. Not surprisingly they don't allow comments, wouldn't want people to say how their "genius" bar is the complete opposite.[/citation]

So, based on the comments of people complaining, all Windows users know how to edit movies and such as described in the commercials? And if they dont they can just show up at the store they bought it from and have someone show them how to do it?

[citation][nom]Eviltwin17[/nom]These commercials aren't accurate. The Genius position is for technical support, not software training and advice. That's what Creatives are for.[/citation]
Yea OK, so semi-accurate. They at least showed that their users were idiots. You have to admit for Apple that's at least a step in a more truthful direction.

First off 2 of the 3 people you quoted found truth in the commercials so as far as I can tell you are the only one complaining (crying) so grow a pair!

Secondly of course all windows users can't do that! One has to rightly assume that the commercial was representing the average user and yes the average windows user can do that or at the very least Google the answer. The avg. windows user doesn't need some so-called genius to pop out of thin air to show him/her what to do or in reality take a trip to the church of Job's and wait to see a moron that doesn't know any thing other than what he query's on some computer. Windows users don't even need to leave home to do that!
