UK's Advertising Watchdog Bans Another iPhone 3G Ad

If you remember, Apple's iPhone television ad that said "all the parts of the internet are on the phone" was banned by UK's Advertising watchdog back in August as they got complaints from some customers claiming that it gave a misleading impression of the internet capabilities of the iPhone.

It had also prompted Apple to change the wordings of the iPhone 3G ads in UK  to say "really fast" instead of "twice as fast" to avoid running into trouble again with U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority.

But it looks like that hasn't helped, as UK's Advertising watchdog has banned that ad as well  after receiving 17 complaints that the commercial was "exaggerating the speed of iPhone 3G."

Another Apple iPhone TV Ad: Peek @ iPhone's Browser features

Starting Sunday we had the news of the release date of Apple's long and eagerly awaited iPhone with the rollout of 3 iPhone Ads, if those were not enough we had a spoof ad created by a fan based on 2001: A Space Odyssey. But that doesn't seem to be the end of the story, another Apple iPhone TV Ad (fourth official ad announcing the release date) has just surfaced on Apple's website.
