Apple keeps pulling its own ads | The iPhone maker scrubbed ‘The Parent Presentation’ from YouTube and its website — its fourth ad removal in about a year.


Apple’s latest ad was only available for one day.

The iPhone maker also released an accompanying 81-slide presentation template that’s supposed to give parents “45 undeniable reasons why a Mac is essential to college,” which still remains available for download on its site. Unlike the other ads pulled by Apple over the past year, there’s no clear reason why “The Parent Presentation” was taken down — other than some users on social media calling it “cringe,” or raising questions about who the commercial’s target audience was. A weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.
