I'm pretty sure they knew Hodgman from the Daily Show.
Most likely you don't work in commercial production or post-production but Apple don't want people to know when they are making an ad.
Got a tip for us?

Why is this even listed here?
Tomorrow on Macrumors:
Nigerian prince will trade $26 million dollars for an iPhone4, if you would please do the needful and please be open to providing your financial information and locate a Western Union near you.

LOL! Best comment of the day!
The very first line suggesting it was Craig's List, and the fact that it advertised that the commercial was actually for an iPhone 5 would seem dead giveaways that this is implausible. The only thing worse than the ad itself is the fact that MR bought into it.

MacRumors didn't "buy into it". They merely posted it as a speculation, even though it is most likely fake it is still a "rumor". MacRumors doesn't say they believe/endorse every rumor they post.
That ad should have been flagged for screaming. No advertising agency would have posted an ad in all caps.

Yeah, arn attempted to do his homework whereas other sites would post it without having looked into previous listings of similar ads or what engadget had reported and so on and so forth. Just like he avoided posting the WWDC crap two days ago because it was unsourced and erroneous.
The convenience defense
you forget that if you leave the caps lock on, you do not have to push the shift button!!!!!!

Puhleese. Really? Casting directors for major commercials will on occasion troll Craigslist, but no one casting for a major brand would actually list specifics. $3000 plus 10% = Amateur. It's either non-union buyout or union with no mention of residuals for a public listing. I would say that macrumors got owned on this one for even mentioning it.
I don't think apple would hire these people. Very unprofessional/un-apple-like work.

I had no idea that the iPhone commercials used actors, I assumed they were just filming real people in real life situations. Aren't all American men tall and muscular IT professionals married to a beautiful Asian wife with two perfect kids and parents that know how to use technology? Why would you need to advertise for actors, just walk into the nearest house with your camera
At least the pay rate went up, £4500 is worth about $30,000 dollars isn't it

Doing a casting call in Craig's List is pulling in the bottom dredges of the acting community.
Apple's ad agency has a very sophisticated and stealthy line for recruiting actors for commercials. They would never do a public casting call. Typically, private subscription-based portfolios are used. Some even have facial recognition software to find "the look" that you need for the type of promotion you have in mind.
This ad on CL is pure trolling.

Yeah. BIG fake. If this WAS legit, would it not be announced at WWDC???

I'm with Jmann on this one. I'm an accredited critic in Dallas. You would never see a casting call like this out in the open, or on Craigslist.
Jmann's entirely correct about how the actual process would go down. This is a bogus lead. TBWA\Chiat\Day scouring Craigslist? That's hilarious.
