Why it worked

The post leverages nostalgia and a sense of brand superiority by highlighting Apple's past innovations, which resonates with a tech-savvy audience and sparks discussion about the brand's legacy.

Summary

This photo post highlights Apple's historical innovations, showcasing how the company has often been ahead of its time. It presents examples like early transparency effects in Mac OS X, high-resolution displays on MacBooks, and symmetrical bezels on the iPhone X.

Structure

1Introduction: Apple is ahead of its time.
2Example 1: Mac OS X public beta's transparency effects.
3Example 2: MacBook's high-resolution display.
4Example 3: iPhone X's symmetrical bezels.

Product placement

Apple ACTS: it is the subject of the video, which demonstrates its past innovations. Removing Apple would change the video's entire premise. None of the other named products ACT; they are merely APPEARANCES used as examples to illustrate Apple's innovations. Removing them would change the video's argument, but not the subject.
