yeah i believe to photoshop... good eye i zoomed in on the immage and you can see the pixels change around the letters and some of the images..Apple needs a good smack imo. The message is simple stop toying with and annoying and controlling your consumers with an iron fist.
(edit: I'm pretty sure my eyes may be messing with me, but those blue letters don't seem to share the same shadow/light with the creases on the black canvas they are sitting on. looks more like a slight transparency effect on the font. Photoshop?)
Nokia allow networks to SIM lock their handsets... isn't this a bit hypocritical?

Some of you guys crack me up. Apple can make whatever kind of device they want. Just because you buy it as it is, doesn't mean they then have to change it to suit your needs. Who are they controlling?
But the company's actions and inactions as of late are losing the hearts and minds of their core consumers, no matter how you look at it.
Exactly, in the same way the leader of Iran doesn't have to stop enriching uranium just because it suits my needs. Just because they're in their right to do or not do so doesn't mean it's the smartest thing to do.
I've seen a bunch of posts similar to yours all over these boards. Consumers feel frustrated and post their frustrations because of:
Lack of what simple things could be on the phone
Apple seems to spend more time, money and effort on crippling consumer creativity then addressing missing features
And what these poster's get in response is a bombardment of "Apple knows best, you signed the agreement that says you have no say, so deal with it".
No one is saying Apple is obligated. But the company's actions and inactions as of late are losing the hearts and minds of their core consumers, no matter how you look at it.
I think it is quite obvious that the hearts and minds they are interested in keeping are the ones who have no interest in hacks or unlocks or those people who do.
I would suggest that those people are Apple's core customers, not those who are attracted to the open phone movement.
This advertisement just underscores that notion.
If you love hacks and unlocks and all those things, go with Nokia -- or something other than Apple.
They're quite willing to cater to that segment of consumers.
Apple, by their own actions, apparently is not.
Hopefully all the hackers will jump on the Nokia bandwagon and leave the iPhone to the core customer who needs a stable platform and is too busy to worry about hacks etc.
