Friends come and go–but mostly the latter when the going gets tough.

We Have Liftoff: iPhone Chips In With NASA-Style Launch In Spot Directed By Tom Hooper For TBWAMedia Arts Lab L.A.
This Apple spot launches with its premise centering on a NASA-style launch of its own--the countdown culminating in the liftoff of an iPhone featuring the A18 Pro chip. That’s the most powerful chip ever used in an iPhone.
