In a recent article by The Guardian, it is noted the UK Advertising Standards Authority, the board of people responsible for deciding an advertisement’s suitability for it’s market, has confirmed it has completely pulled an Apple-made iPhone advert from being shown in the UK, in light of ‘mis-leading’ claims …
The advert in question created claims of the iPhone having “all the parts of the internet”. The board found this to be mis-leading on a number of accounts, the two most prominent being iPhone’s Safari does not yet support Adobe Flash, or Java, which are both technologies used widely across the internet, today
“The company 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”.
