If you have been following the events surrounding the apple company for a long time, then you will certainly remember a rather interesting advertisement in which the popular actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson played the main role. Specifically, it was a spot promoting the Siri voice assistant. In this case, The Rock shows that a day in his shoes is definitely not easy, and therefore it doesn't hurt to have quality help at hand. And it is in this direction that the iPhone 7 Plus enters the scene with Siri.

In the field of voice assistants, Apple has long lagged behind its competition in the form of Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Therefore, it is not surprising that he reached for a person like Dwayne Johnson in this area. At the same time, when you listen to the video, you can notice that Siri's voice was still significantly unnatural at that time. Although it is not a glory even now, back then the apple assistant was even worse, because of which Apple faced (and still faces) a lot of criticism. At the same time, this collaboration between Apple and The Rock gave the impression that the pair will be working together more often. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Why?

Why did Dwayne Johnson distance himself from Apple?

So the question arises, why did Dwayne Johnson actually "distance" himself from Apple and we haven't seen any further collaboration since then? On the other hand, we can recognize the face of this actor from various Xbox advertisements, which The Rock often promotes and thus lends his face to him. And this is exactly the type of cooperation that the apple growers themselves envisioned. Of course, no one knows the reason why we haven't seen another act, and it's not clear if we'll ever see something similar. In the same year when the ad was released, Dwayne Johnson appeared in the movie Coast Guard with an iPhone in his hand.

Despite this, it seems that the famous The Rock did not completely resent Apple. Although the actor does not actively promote the Cupertino giant, he still relies on apple products to this day. Well, at least for one. When we go to his Twitter and look at the published posts, we can notice that practically all of them were added using the Twitter iPhone app.
