Back in February Apple launched a teaser ad for the iPhone, which was premiered during the 79th annual Academy Awards. In traditional Apple fasion, the ad was shortly thereafter placed on their website to be viewed on demand for all to see. It seems that as of last night the ad has been removed from Apple's iPhone page and the URL for it now redirects you back to the <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/hello" target="_blank">iPhone page</a>. The original ad is shown below:

At this point it's up in the air as to why the ad was removed. It's possible that because it was a teaser ad, it will soon be replaced by a proper ad showcasing the iPhones features. As soon as more details emerge, we'll be the first to report it.
