It's not a question o fruth. A 30sec. ad can only show few things so it's natural to speed up pauses. This is done in so many ads.

Everybody knows that it's very rare to find truth in advertising, and I don't think that anyone who has ever used a phone to access online content would believe it could be literally as fast as it is in the advert. We're not that stupid. In the least Apple should just have been told to add some small print on screen, as we see in video game ads that show footage that isn't from the gameplay and also in various other adverts.

Also to the person mentioning the anti-war protests and the lack of anything happening, that is unfortunately the way our country works. A lot of us didn't want to go to war, but with no election due at the time there was nothing that could be done to stop the government from going ahead with it.

the TV Ads are all 30 seconds long, how is apple going to show a few things the iphone can do if the page download was left in real time without editing??? the same goes for the attachment download and the GPS feature… they have to cram it all in 30 seconds. Apple is not misleading.

17 people complain that an add is not 100% correct, and the government TAKES ACTION!!!

The first day I was in London, I saw a million people marching to try and stop a war in Iraq. Think it had to do with WMD or something like that.

Nothing happened.

Gotta love the brits.

At least they can do something about it. The commercial is misleading. That is not the actual speed!

Why is Microsofts ad still running when it associates Windows with "PC" when a "PC" can be anything .. BSD, Linux, OS/2, etc etc

wow – those lucky Brits! If only we had something like that over here to protect us from all the lying, cheating ads we have to put up with.

Oh. I think most agree the ad was edited instead of waiting for the actual speed of the downloading which would if increased the size of the commercial from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes.

Note that the finger disappears after pressing a button or screen. An easy way to edit out the waiting time.

As said in a previous comment, WiFi ain't that fast. In the US, some have complained that the speeds are quite slow.
