UK ad banned iPhone ad for misleading claims
Posted August 28th, 2008 by Ryan
A new UK iPhone ad has been banned bythe U.K.’s Advertising Standards Authority (who knew?). They received reports of misleading claims. The ad which was made for television claims that “all the parts of the internet are on the iPhone.” The complaints stated that the iPhone doesnot support Java or Flash which could be required on some websites. ASA (Avertising Standards Authority) concluded that the “ad gave a misleading impression of the internet capabilities of the iPhone”.
Apple of course responded by saying that it could not ensure compatibility with “every third-party technology in the marketplace”. Adobe are you going to take this?
