- iPhone users in the UK are up in arms over the iPhone 3G commercials that claim it is “really fast”, showing the phone load internet pages in under a second.
- As we all know here, the 3G has not lived up to its name, but no one has taken it to the streets. In the UK, The Advertising Standards Authority says that in a test, the 3G iPhone commercial is misleading and that the 3G is not absolutely faster than the 2G predecessor
- After respecting viewers’ complaints, the ASA said the ad must never appear again in the same misleading fashion.
- Apple is saying the ASA should let it slide since within the commercial is an asterik which says ‘Network performance varies by location’. This time you’re wrong Apple. Speed that phone up along with your stock price.
