I picked up on the context of all the human experiences we perceive as wrapped up in those items - as sorts of resiviors for human emotion and symbols of self actualization. I think a more apt analogy would be: you wouldn't host an estate sale at the site of that person's funeral.

Given Apple's standards, it's impossible to imagine them crushing a piano in real-life and having it come apart on film in just the way they wanted.

The camera zooms in a lot on certain objects coming apart, so maybe they animated or even re-shot select parts of it, but the overall thing was real?

And then the burger being thrown away.
