Apple’s M1 ad: “Mission Implausible”

Running 120-second long, the Tom Cruise-y commercial shows a special ops character running on the solar rooftop of the ring-like Apple Park headquarters before using a rope to run vertically across the curved glass, Mission Impossible style, and break into the building.

He then goes on to steal the Mac’s M1 chip and put it into the new iPad Pro, but be sure not to miss a surprise reveal at the end of the video!
