<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/11/iphone-14-ad-biggest.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1280)</div> <p><strong>Update</strong>: Weirdly, the YouTube video has now reverted back to the original ad, vocals intact.</p> <p>Apple has updated the videos on social media, including YouTube, for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus launch ad. The original ads used a snippet of the song Biggest by Idris Elba (https://apple.co/3VdrKSh), with lyrics repeating the word ‘Biggest’. </p> <p>However, the way the way the word was said in the song meant some people instead heard an offensive racial slur. It became somewhat of a viral meme almost immediately after the ad came out in September. Two months on, though, Apple has responded by removing the vocals from the ad’s soundtrack entirely.</p> <p> <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2022/11/28/apple-iphone-14-vocal-ad/#more-850373" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://9to5mac.com/2022/11/28/apple-iphone-14-vocal-ad/">Apple removes vocals from iPhone 14 launch ad after lyrics were confused for racial slur[/url] appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://9to5mac.com">9to5Mac[/url].</p> Source: Apple removes vocals from iPhone 14 launch ad after lyrics were confused for racial slur (https://9to5mac.com/2022/11/28/apple-iphone-14-vocal-ad/) |
