Watchdog have received two complaints about the UK Apple iPhone 3G advert as it appears to be very misleading.

But the ASA said because the iPhone did not support Flash or Java – two programs that form part of many webpages – the claim was misleading.

Apple had argued its claim referred to availability of webpages, rather than their specific appearance.

The iPhone employs a web browser called Safari, which is built on freely available software. Many webpages, however, employ small software programs like Flash and Java to display graphics and animations.

Those programs are proprietary software, and Apple opted not to enable them on the iPhone. The result is that pages viewed with Safari may look different to those same pages viewed on other browsers.
