Apple Cancels “Get a Mac” Ads

The campaign of a decade is no more. The now famous “Get a Mac” ads have been replaced with a page dedicated to the sentiment “Why you’ll love a Mac” on Apple’s website.

The page redirect was noticed by MacRumors and appears to confirm suspicions — which began after Justin Long suggested that Apple was moving on — that Apple would no longer be producing any more of the Mac vs. PC personified spots.

The long-running campaign certainly served to create memorable moments in advertising history, but more recent ads teetered on mediocrity and lacked the same comedic flair as earlier renditions. Still, the ads will no doubt be missed by Apple fans everywhere, though we can assume that Apple will come out with something to replace them in the near future.

For now you can reminiscence with these 10 best “Get a Mac” ads or check out these iPad spots.
