Technologies evolve, but love is timeless.
That's the message of Apple's quietly poignant 2014 holiday commercial, which broke Sunday. And indeed, exactly one-half of the ad is about non-Apple tech from 60 years ago—namely, the Voice-O-Graph machine, which allowed people in the 1940s and '50s to record their voice directly to vinyl records.
Over the course of the ad, a woman finds a way to take a song recorded on a Voice-O-Graph in 1952 and update it touchingly for today—as a Christmas present for her grandmother.
It's a throwback, for sure.
