Apple has started the airing of two new iPhone TV ads. Like the ones before it, they focus on the applications available on the device, showcasing apps that fall into a theme. The first is 'Share' shows apps that let you share data with other users, including Mover, Bump, and Scrabble [$4.99].

Apple has begun airing two new TV ads for the iPhone 3GS. The first is titled Voice Control, and demonstrates the new Voice Control feature on the 3GS for both calling phone numbers and playing music. The second ad, called Copy and Paste, demonstrates the copy and paste functions now available with the OS 3.0 update. The ad demonstrates this new feature being used for phone numbers, formatted text and images and web pages, and maps between apps on the device.

Apple responded to claims recently responded to claims that their TV ads for the iPhone 3G are deceptive in nature. The lawsuit claims that Apple's touting of the iPhone 3G as "twice as fast for half the price" was incorrect and misleading. Apple starts off by saying that the statements made in their ads "were truthful and accurate and were not misleading or deceptive." Most interesting, however, was their claim that, to paraphrase, only a fool would believe those claims.

Yet another iPhone 3G ad has been banned in the UK for misleading advertising. Not long after the first ad was banned for claiming that the iPhone access to "all parts of the internet", we heard that Apple had changed the wording to their ad 'Vicinity' from saying the new iPhone was "twice as fast" to just being "really fast". Unfortunately it looks like that wasn't enough.
