Apple: The Lost Voice

Created in-house by Apple MARCOM and launched ahead of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 3rd) this latest film promotes accessibility on Apple devices, focusing on a new feature introduced in iOS17 called Personal Voice. Titled 'The Lost Voice', the spot tells the tale of a young girl and her fantastical floppy-eared friend, as they search high and low for his missing voice, before revealing a uniquely personal moment between a father and a daughter. The film is narrated entirely by the father, Dr. Tristram Ingham, who is an associate professor of epidemiology and a disability advocate from Wellington, New Zealand. He has facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), which causes progressive muscle degeneration that can ultimately lead to an inability to speak. The Personal Voice technology he uses to narrate the ad enables Dr. Ingham to preserve and continue to use his own voice well into the future.
