Apple Revives 'Underdogs' With 'Blue Screen of Death' Short Focused on Mac Security

The workplace film channels viewers to Apple's enterprise-security pitch via a direct link to its corporate microsite.

Overview

  • Apple posted the eight-minute short to its official YouTube channel as the latest entry in the occasional Apple at Work series launched in 2019.
  • The narrative shows PCs at a trade show failing with a blue screen while the Underdogs continue working on Macs, underscoring built‑in security.
  • The video's description links to Apple's enterprise security page highlighting kernel‑level protections, Secure Enclave isolation, and Apple silicon integration across platforms.
  • Apple ecosystem capabilities are featured throughout, including AirDrop, business‑card capture via the camera, and handing off a call from Apple Watch to iPhone.
  • MacRumors reports the spot appears to nod to last year's Windows outage tied to a faulty CrowdStrike update, with context noting a 2024 Apple at Work installment was pulled after criticism over its depiction of Thailand.
