Apple unveils a new 90-minute 'Study With Me' video featuring Storm Reid

In an innovative move, Apple has recently unveiled a 90-minute ‘Study With Me’ video on YouTube, featuring the acclaimed Emmy-nominated actress, Storm Reid, known for her roles in hit series like “The Last of Us,” “Euphoria,” and “Missing.” The video is designed to cater to a unique niche within the YouTube community, where content creators upload extended videos ranging from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours, showcasing their study sessions to motivate and inspire viewers to tackle their work and concentration challenges.

In Apple’s newly released video, viewers can observe Storm Reid engrossed in her studies using a 15-inch MacBook Air. Titled ‘Study With Me feat. Storm Reid x Apple,’ the video aims to provide a productive environment for studying and minimizing distractions. Storm Reid adopts the renowned Pomodoro technique, breaking her study sessions into three focused 25-minute segments, each followed by an enjoyable 5-minute break, which viewers can either follow along with or use as inspiration for their own study breaks.

The video not only showcases Reid’s dedication to the Pomodoro method but also offers glimpses of her brief study breaks, during which she savors a snack of taco shells, sardines, and hot sauce, and indulges in some stretching exercises beside a life-sized teddy bear. Her final break session takes an unexpected twist as she breaks into dance with others, adding an element of fun and spontaneity to the study experience.

Expressing her enthusiasm about the video, Storm Reid stated, “I’m excited to share this new ‘Study With Me’ video from Apple that we created as a tool for students to get work done. As a Junior at the University of Southern California, I spend a lot of time studying, and I’ve found it’s so important for me to balance work with music and movement.”

Notably, this marks Apple’s first foray into the ‘Study With Me’ genre on YouTube, which, despite its uniqueness, exists as a popular niche on the platform. Similar videos often accumulate more than 5 million views. In just one day, Apple’s video has garnered over 317,000 views.

Additionally, the video highlights the 15-inch MacBook Air, showcasing its impressive features, including a Liquid Retina display and the powerful M2 chip, all packed into a lightweight device weighing only 3.3 pounds. The MacBook Air also integrates several valuable features like FaceTime and continuity features such as Handoff, AirDrop, Universal Clipboard, and Messages. Throughout the video, Apple’s iPad and Apple Pencil make appearances.

For students interested in acquiring Apple devices, Apple offers a year-long discount for those who are currently enrolled or have recently been accepted into a university, making their technology more accessible for educational purposes.
