Apple recently unveiled its latest iPad Pro and Air models, along with an updated Apple Pencil at a recent event. However, the event was not without controversy, as some discrepancies in the portrayal of San Francisco’s landscape in the product announcement video were noticed.

During the event, Apple showcased scenic shots of the Bay Area, including a BART train journeying through what appeared to be a picturesque neighborhood between San Francisco’s Outer Mission and Oceanview areas. However, sharp-eyed viewers pointed out that Apple had digitally removed the I-280 highway and replaced it with a scenic tree-lined gap. Additionally, blocks of densely populated Oceanview homes were replaced with upscale mansions, sparking questions about the authenticity of the depiction.

Despite these discrepancies, the video maintained connections to the Bay Area through an Apple-centric lens. Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, John Ternus, was featured onboard a BART train discussing the new iPad Air. The train’s interior featured ads for Apple TV shows while passengers engaged with their Apple devices.

In another segment, Ternus and iPad product design director Melody Kuna were seen at UC Berkeley’s Doe Library discussing the iPad Air’s features. The background showed students working on Apple laptops and iPads without any apparent alterations.

Apple has yet to address these alterations or respond to inquiries about them. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
