Apple is expanding its global 50th anniversary celebrations with additional events. Following the kickoff in the US and initial events in China and South Korea, events are now planned in Canada, France, and Thailand. These events are part of a global campaign running throughout March that highlights the creative use of Apple products.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple's 50th anniversary is not only seen as a historical milestone, but also as an opportunity to highlight the company's role in creative processes. Guided by the motto "Think Different," the events will focus on how technology supports creative expression and opens up new perspectives. Artists, athletes, and other creative professionals will be specifically involved to share their methods and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anniversary series kicked off<\/a> last week with a special event at the Grand Central Store in New York. Alicia Keys made a surprise appearance, officially opening the celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada: Creativity on the ice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Apple has announced an event in Canada as part of its free "Today at Apple" program. The event will take place on Thursday, March 26, at the Apple Store in the Pacific Centre in Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus is on professional figure skater Elladj Bald\u00e9. The session is themed around celebrating 50 years of "Think Different," showcasing how Bald\u00e9 uses ice as a medium for creativity and change. His approach aims to inspire younger generations in particular to perform authentically and without fear of convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A concrete example of his work is a video shot on a frozen lake in Banff National Park. This video was created using the dual-capture mode of the iPhone 17 Pro. This feature allows filming with both the front and rear cameras simultaneously, opening up new creative possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France: Four creative sessions in Paris<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
