Creative items such as a camera, piano and paint are destroyed by an industrial crusher in advert

apologised on Thursday after an advertisement for its latest iPad Pro model sparked criticism by showing an animation of musical instruments and other symbols of creativity being crushed.

Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.Online commenters criticised the ad as insensitive and an unwelcome departure from the company’s historic positioning of its brand as nonconformist, human friendly and an antidote to a dystopian, colourless world.

The Cupertino-California based tech giant unveiled the tablet on Tuesday with a new chip for artificial intelligence computing as it rushes to catch up with its Big Tech rivals in a race to dominate the emerging technology.
