The ad, titled "Growing Up," opens with the man queueing up for his first iPhone in 2007, all the way up till present day, where he finally sees the light and decides to skip the queue for the iPhone X.

The minute-long ad manages to majorly throw shade at the iPhone, highlighting all the criticisms it's faced over the years: its lack of stylus, non-waterproof phones, and of course, the dongles.
