Awe dropping? Awe dropping. You know, it's odd; puns are sort of supposed to work both ways. I see "jaw dropping" here... I see "awe"... But the connotation of awe dropping, like something is less impressive the more you see of it... I guess it's just going over my head or I'm missing something important.

    Oh! Unless they mean "drop" like "new Mac just dropped"? But it's awe that they're dropping? I still feel like that's tenuous.

    I’m guessing that’s the idea, but I don’t think it really conveys what the suit who came up with that is wanting. When did that ad with the iPad crushing all sorts of creative things come out? It’s adding to the feeling that Apple isn’t a place right now where people can say, “that’s dumb,” and prevent dumb ideas from management getting to the public.

    Yeah, that advert was super weird too. It could have been cool but with the AI push it just felt really disrespectful to humans.

    This pun just feels like a dime-a-dozen, deeply mediocre, half-thought-out idea. Apple has long had a reputation as a brand associated with clever, creative ideas and a "cool" image, and it just feels like that's going away. I find it hard to believe a talented and experienced senior creative would have approved something this bland, but it might genuinely just not be to my taste!
