The UK advertising watchdog forces Apple to pull an iPhone advert after ruling it exaggerates the phone's speed.

Re: Apple made to drop iPhone advert

Not the first time Apple has been made to withdraw or modify adverts. The first 2 that spring to mind were the iPhone ad that talked about its push email, it was made to add 'Requires Microsoft Exchange' (rather embarrassingly) at the bottom of the screen. There was also the infamous G5 ad that claimed it was the 'Worlds fastest, most powerful personal computer', something it clearly wasn't.
It seems Apple has no shame in promoting its overpriced tat.

Re: Apple made to drop iPhone advert

i agree, although apple products are generally ok, it seems to me that you're nearly always paying for the 'cool' factor and the brand name.
