Just saw it on the commercial break during the X Factor, made me giggle.

Fair play, it made me laugh. Owning an iPhone myself, I found it quite funny and liked it - fair play to The Sun.

NOTE: This is only very loosely related to Apple and Technology, yes, but it is still somewhat applicable to this forum and can therefore remain.

Only The Sun would have the balls to do something like that, especially during peak time and during what probably is the biggest UK TV Audience of all time. Hilarious.

Hows it more suited here:S It'd get better audience in the Apple section, fgs. It was a advert aimed at Apple, it was not a TV program. Please move it back.

It's a television advert. It's staying where it is :)

Another reason why this forum is failing, moderators not listening to its users. What else can I do but ask politely? at least give me a polite answer.

I've moved it back, but I can see why Oli made the decision it is only very loosely related. If you hadn't of PMd me I would not have felt obliged to do so, just to note :p.

On topic, that's quite funny :)!

If Apple tried to sue them, The Sun would laugh and would turn the nation against the iPhone, it has the power to do such things.

What are you people on about? :S
It's got nothing to do with Apple. It's a parody of their advert, fine. There has been no bad practice or wrong doing, it's just an advert. If it was breaking any rules it wouldn't have been approved by the Advertising Standards Agency anyway.
Can't believe you have managed to make me stick up for the Sun, God damn it :eusa_wall.

Little bit funny but if the objective of the advert is to persuade us that the sun newspaper is better than the iPhone for reading the news, playing games and sharing things with friends then it does kind of fail. :P
