Apple turns Ariana Grande and other musicians into Memoji for its latest ads
Just in time for the Grammy Awards, Apple has unveiled three new ads for Apple Music, featuring new singles from Ariana Grande, Khalid and Florida Georgia Line.

Apple actually created similar ads with Animoji lip synching to Childish Gambino and Migos before last year’s Grammys.
