Apple Promotes 'Do Not Disturb' in TV Ad On Same Day as New Year's Day Bug Discovered

Apple posted a new television ad today highlighting their "Do Not Disturb" feature. Professional tennis players Serena and Venus Williams are shown playing ping-pong against the narrator in a dream:


Ever had a really cool dream? I'm having one right now. I don't want to be disturbed. And I won't because before I went to sleep, I set this. Now my iPhone knows not to ring unless its important. Cause disturbing this would just be... Wrong.

Ironically, the new ad comes on the same day that a bug in the scheduled Do Not Disturb feature prevented it from turning off on many iPhones.

I did not think that this feature was big enough to warrant an entire ad being made about it...

I'm sorry, but if you're having a dream with Serena and Venus Williams in it and all you're doing is playing ping pong, something is wrong with you.
