Apple apologises for iPad advert featuring musical instruments being crushed after furious backlash as tech giant says ‘we missed the mark’

Plans to broadcast the controversial ad on TV have also reportedly been scrapped – although it is still on Apple’s YouTube channel.

The one-minute clip shows a collection of artistic objects – including paints, books and musical instruments – being crushed by an industrial press. Other users figured that the controversy generated by the advert would simply help Apple sell its products.
