Apple's new iPad advert is annoying
 

Anger on the web

Apple's advert for the multi-tasking capability of the iPad Pro and iOS 11 is managing to get people really cross.

The ad shows a kid retiring to her grassy backyard after a day of hanging out with friends and doing school projects with her iPad Pro in what appears to be Brooklyn. A neighbor asks her what she's doing on her computer.

"What's a computer?" the kid replies.

The advert is supposed to show the versatility of the iPad. In this fantasy Apple world, traditional computers are so outdated that a child doesn't even know what they are.

But the advert is wrong on so many levels it has managed to get the internet buzzing with Apple hate.

"Does this commercial tick anybody else off?" one person said in a top comment on a snippet of the ad posted to Facebook. "I want to smack this kid. What's a computer? You know what a computer is you disrespectful smarta--!!"

Plenty of other posts on social media, some with thousands of retweets, echo that observation.
