What is Apple’s viral new commercial really telling us? Apple’s “The Clingers” ad went viral when viewers paused at the 0:16 mark and noticed a strange painting — horned figures surrounding a woman reading a book, positioned exactly like the silver-suited trackers around the woman on her phone below. In this video, we break down the hidden details in Apple’s Privacy on iPhone campaign and how it all connects back to the very start of the company.

We look at the painting created by director Ivan Zacharias’s team, the meaning behind the bitten apple logo, the Apple 1’s famous $666.66 price tag, Ridley Scott’s 1984 Macintosh Super Bowl commercial, the 1985 “Lemmings” ad for Macintosh Office, and other commercials with dark themes from brands like Liquid Death and KFC.

Is it all coincidence, clever marketing, or something more? Watch to the end and decide for yourself — and comment “PART TWO” if you want a breakdown of more commercials with strange imagery.

  1. Why do you think Apple's creative team went out of their way to design a custom painting featuring demons that perfectly mirrors the actors in the ad? Is it purely a strategic marketing stunt to get people talking, or do you think it is directly connected to the symbolism of the bitten apple logo and the exact $666.66 price of their very first computer? Drop your theories below.

  2. They have been telling the people who they are from the beginning, but people refuse to believe it.

  3. There a video of someone talking about the metals in humans will combust at the command of the govt basically the metals are put inside humans on purpose. It's like putting metal inside a microwave. The body will combust

  4. Subliminal messaging is everywhere …they hide in plain sight because many don't understand the Symbolisms

  5. People in “chrome”, in the end a lady says chrome. How many are jumping to conclusions

  6. I’m not scared or afraid of anything happening in this world because in the end. I’ll be with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ living in everlasting and eternal paradise where there is no evil, sickness , death, pain, sadness, nor any other of the countless issues people in *this world. The great deceiver, manipulator and defiler of everything pure, known as satan, has power in this world. God created us to have free will and satan has known since he rebelled, fought, lost and was kicked out of Heaven with those who followed him that his days are numbered. Yes, the things people are taught to aspire to include life are all hallow, temporary things that mean nothing when their time is over. There’s a reason that certain things are chosen to represent the complete opposite of their true origin. For instance the God created the rainbow to represent purity, beauty and it also represents a sacred convenient he made to never flood the earth again. Now, before someone presumes I’m a homophobic person, I’m not. Yes, I’m saved and know that Jesus Christ is my Lord and savior but I was never taught at church or at home to spread hatred, ever. The Bible claims explains many things as sins, and as a human I sin each day but I get convicted about it and ask for forgiveness, and thankfully God is such a merciful, patient and loving God that he forgives my sins. I hadn’t planned to speak about the rainbow but it’s a great example of how satan manipulates and works to defile any and everything that was meant to be pure.

    Another example is that many people regularly use the statement that a fetus isn’t a living thing because it’s a fetus, but what is the actual definition of the word Fetus in Latin where it originates from-“offspring," "bringing forth," or "the bearing/hatching of young”.

    Truthfully, my intent in sharing this post isn’t to spread hate, because that’s not what Gods word teaches or tells us to do. It’s unfortunate that people are so hateful, divided, corrupt, and broken in so many ways because people look up to and idolize “celebs”. I know some personally who aren’t bad people, but we’re programmed to look up to false idols such as the extremely wealthy, superstars, musicians and so forth. Yet, I know firsthand that you can have billions and be absolutely miserable when nobody else is around. People are wired to ‘search for answers, and want to figure out or create things which is ok but pride, ego, judging others based on their looks or financial status or the things that this world says are important absolutely nothing.

    The greatest part about being saved is the feeling of peace that is honestly hard to put into words and it’s FREE! All that Gods wants his people to do is spread the good news of salvation to any and everyone regardless of any worldly status. Jesus said it will be easier for a camel to fit through the head of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. It makes me sad honestly because there are friends I love and want nothing but the best for and want them to also be in Heaven but some believe they know and have all the answers solely due to status and wealth. I used to act and think the same way and I thank God every day for not giving up on me, giving his life so that I could have eternal life!

    Ohh, man I didn’t mean to write a semi thesis, ha. Nonetheless, I hope anyone who reads this has a great weekend, is kind to others, and I pray that whenever someone hears Gods word they don’t take it for granted because spiritual warfare is very real and it’s happening every day all around us. It’s ok to have a differing opinions and to listen and discuss/ debate why someone believes what they do without belittling them. The ancient serpent, deceiver and manipulator Lucifer wants people to be distracted with any and every possible unimportant thing so that he can take down as many people as possible with him when he’s destroyed and burning in a lake of fire forever.

    It’s disgraceful that throughout time many preachers and so called Christian’s have knit picked God’s word-(The Bible), for their own personal benefit and reasons, whether that be financial or to condemn others in order to glorify themselves.

    I have no right to judge anyone but I’d be scared out of mind to actively and willingly change Gods word. In the book of some disciples asked Jesus when the world would end and he said:

    “Take heed that no man deceive you.
    For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

    6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
    7.) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
    All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    9.)Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

    10.)And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

    11.)And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

    12.)And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
    13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
    14.)And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

    I’m human and have human emotions but at the end of the day no matter what’s done to my body, my soul is filled with the Holy Spirit and nobody nor any being can remove him once you’ve accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior. It doesn’t mean you won’t struggle and still hardships but when you read his word it truly is as though you’re being spiritually fed and God deals in life, not death. Anyway, hope everyone has a happy Labor Day, positive vibes, kindness and love to all- God Bless!!

  7. So… how could this be so misinterpreted. The message is obvious: when you are online, you are being “watched” or tracked. And when you use Apple’s browser it has more privacy. Duck Duck Go also advertises the same message and uses big eyeballs to create that imagery. Is the demonic imagery more provocative? Sure. I guess. When Jobs and Wozniak made the Apple I, they were college age and they made the price $666.66. Because 6 repeating was the a 30% markup over the $500 wholesale price and they thought it was “eye-catching”. But no, instead let’s say demons are real and freak out about a tech company. Children.

  8. Are you dumb the serpent is the evil one Adam and Eve were living a life filled with God glory like do you know what that means a life that you could physically walk with God a life filled with only joy and happiness peace there was never suffering no wickedness that is the life God wants for you and the devil which is the serpent took it away from us and you are calling him a hero if God didn't want us to choose d between good and evil then He would have never created the forbidden tree and even today God still loves us that is why He sent His only son that He loves dearly to come and die for us to come and save us from the devil please wake up and follow the light if you were God would you send your only son to come and die for people who mock you for sake you betray you for thousands of years over and over again would you still send your son to save them that's why God is a merciful and the kindest being in this world He created the world He wants you to live a life of peace and happiness with Him and you want to throw it away for the same person who took it away from us in the first place please open your eyes and follow the truth before it's too late

  9. 9:44 the snake helped humanity have free will? That freedom doomed us all to pain and suffering thanks to That free will

  10. OH MY GOODNESS, WE NEED TO BURN ALL THE APPLE PHONES RIGHT NOW AND REBUKE THE CREATORS! Because it looks like it may be impossible to use our Apple devices to bring glory and praise to God bible study and prayer through FaceTime, recording sermon videos on an Apple device and uploading it on YouTube oh my goodness this is a travesty🤨 God says I shall not fear anything. Blood of Christ covers me. My phone isn’t going to hurt me or the intent behind it☺️God bless everyone. Relax!🫶🏽✝️✨🔥❤️

  11. Are you ok? You're talking like your family members don't do that and the world is full of good people. Can you tell me or show me who lives longer than 120 years and is still alive today? The painting shows the reality that you are in, you people read and learn and think that you're getting smarter but is that true? Cuz smart people don't die but apparently none is smart in this world. You're pointing finger at apple to make them look bad but if you want to see a real demon then go look at yourself in the mirror. Don't say that I'm offending you cuz I am not but the truth needs to be told. Ask yourself what you are, what nations you belong to then you know why people are dying cuz according to the word we all came from one family but now there are nations and these nations hate each other. When you are busy building up your case so you can avoid the attention but what's inside is outside and you cannot lie. It's 2026 a.d, you can't say that it's old age cuz those who walk with the Lord are not even a day old so we're letting the world know why it's dying. You can be with the world and don't change but do not lie cuz the younger generation is watching and they will know why people get sick, age then die.

  12. I think the 1984 commercial is just a well-made and well-timed 1984 commercial. Your argument that it represents rebellion against God begs the question of whether Big Brother actually represents God, and there is no evidence of that in either the novel or the commercial. Rebellion against big corporations and the surveillance state was and is trendy, good marketing. Dystopian imagery is not inherently sacrilegious. There are many accounts of righteous rebellion against earthly authorities in the Bible. The other ads don't have any anti-God or anti-Christian imagery or themes at all either. The point is to not be like the mindless worker drones marching to their doom, be different. The silver dudes are the bad guys, the demons are the bad guys, they behave similarly, and with the privacy features of Apple you're beating the bad guys. It's a very clear analogy if you aren't trying to impose a narrative (with no directly related supporting evidence) (that is directly in contradiction with the ad itself).

    The pricing and logo concerns are valid (mostly, except that the original Apple logo was Isaac Newton holding an apple under a tree. He pioneered physics in the same way Apple wants to pioneer the space; the desire to simplify the logo while making it distinguishable is too credible to be proven otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt (which admittedly is not the standard in the court of public opinion)). I avoid Apple products for these reasons and others. The KFC ad is bad. I was always skeptical of Liquid Death and am now absolutely reviled. But those are completely different products and companies. Overall, I'm 80% in agreement with you and everyone who will hate this comment. Just not seeing it with those particular Apple ads.

  13. And I have been saying their logo is a mockery of Jesus since 2011. The forbidden fruit. So that part is no exposure. If you know your bible you should know this
