It couldn’t come in a better time. Just when Apple is trying to coupe up with the pressure/complaints of the latest firmware issue, here came the Ad Ban. Apple’s latest iPhone TV Ad has been banned in UK following customers complaints about misleading message. UK’s Advertising Standards Authority had banned the Ad for good saying Apple’s message “all the parts of the Internet are on the iPhone“ is misleading customers because the device isn’t capable of displaying all elements of a web page. The iPhone doesn’t actually support Flash or Java, so you can’t really access all of the Internet on it. 

Apple, to their defense said none of the content in the ad was Java or Flash-based and that the line “all parts of the internet” meant website availability, “not every aspect of functionality”. But that couldn’t impress ASA, so they concluded “users would be able to access all websites and see them in their entirety” and ordered that the TV ad must not be broadcast again in the same form.
