Apple's iOS 14.5 update has been making headlines for a while now, thanks to its game-changing privacy controls. Users can opt out out being tracked by apps, with potentially huge ramifications for various advertising business models. While many users are embracing the change, notable detractors include a certain Mr Zuckerberg. And we doubt he's a fan of Apple's latest ad.

The new spot (below), 'Tracked', perfectly personifies tracking apps as a series of prying characters following a man around London. But as he disables tracking from each ad, the characters suddenly disappear. (Check out our best Apple deals if you're looking for new kit).
