Apple's New Beats Pill Ad Leans Into Reality TV Show 'Love Island USA'

Apple today shared a new Beats Pill ad that pays tribute to the reality TV show Love Island USA, which returned for an eighth season this week.


The ad does not mention Love Island USA, but the "Pill People" are said to have "entered the villa," which is a clear reference to the show.

"If you're binging a full summer of island drama, you'll need battery life that can keep up," says Apple. "Good thing the Beats Pill gets up to 24 hours of listening time, more than enough for every recoupling, challenge, and twist the summer has to offer."

Apple released the current Beats Pill in 2024. Priced at $149.99 in the U.S, the speaker comes in Matte Black, Statement Red, and Champagne Gold.

The HomePod Mini is great, but it’s for a different application. The Pill is a portable fling in your bag thing for stuff like camping, the park or the beach. It’s nice to not have to worry about an internet connection. It’s also convenient to move around from room to room with ease. Found a nice use as the speaker for my MacBook Neo when docked at my desk.

You can get some contraptions to make the Mini more portable, but isn’t as refined an experience. The Mini excels at great sound for stationary use, and smart assistantce.

I find it is best to own both
