Apple Is Using a Sneaky Gimmick to Get You to Share Their Mother's Day Ad—Don't Fall for It

Celebrating Mother's Day just got more exploitative with Apple's Mother's Day ad.

Their original Mother's Day ad shows photos and videos of mothers shot on an iPhone and uses the "Shot on iPhone" marketing line:

In a perhaps misguided marketing campaign, you can insert your own photo and name into the ad and share the video on Facebook to your dear mother. The video plays normally until the end when your photo shows up followed by "Happy Mother's Day, Love [your name]":

Obviously you can choose any photo you want, so this doesn't have to be just for your mom. If you find it sweet, or want to send a twisted message to someone, check it out here.

While I'm sure lots of moms will appreciate the thought, it's a little annoying that for each personalized video, you have to watch the entire iPhone commercial. This just seems like a sneaky way way to get everyone to watch Apple's new ad.

Just updated your iPhone? You'll find new Apple Intelligence capabilities, sudoku puzzles, Camera Control enhancements, volume control limits, layered Voice Memo recordings, and other useful features. Find out what's new and changed on your iPhone with the iOS 18.2 update.

Unfortunately, I have deleted some of my important facebook images and videos. All these images and videos are really important for me and I need these as soon as possible. Is there any way to recover deleted facebook, images and videos. Thanks for your thinking.
