US tech giant Apple has withdrawn its 'Out Of Office' ad, filmed in Thailand, following backlash from Thai citizens, lawmakers, and influencers. The short film, 'The Underdogs: OOO (Out Of Office),' faced criticism for allegedly depicting Thailand negatively through stereotypes and failing to reflect the country’s true image.

This is another controversial advert removed by Apple.
