Like a host of other companies, Apple threw its support behind marriage equality in Australia, before it was legalised in December 2017.

Now, the tech company has backed it up with a one-minute advertisement titled "First Dance," released on Sunday. It celebrates the first LGBTQ marriages in the country, many of which have taken place in the last month.

The spot for the iPhone X features a Courtney Barnett cover of INXS' "Never Tear Us Apart," which according to the release was specifically recorded for the ad.
