iPhone Ad Banned in UK

“Ads misleading consumers about Internet capabilities” says ASA

It seems that iPhone is not able to get out of its jinx! Since the launch of its iPhone, Apple has been in the news for all the wrong reasons…

This time, a TV advertisement has landed the company in trouble as the commercial for Apple’s 3G iPhone has been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The accusations are that Apple is trying to mislead the customers over the Internet capabilities of the iPhone, reports The Guardian, UK.

Earlier ASA was responsible for banning a television advertisements for the first-generation iPhone, in the month of August. It was due to the fact that the authority received 17 complaints that the commercial mislead the customers by “exaggerating the speed of the iPhone 3G.”

However, it has been announced by Apple that the claims made in the commercial were “relative rather than absolute in nature.”
