3G iPhone Ad vs Real World: A performance comparison
Apple’s “Unslow” 3G iPhone commercial pretends to demonstrated the performance of the device over the 3G network. To put it to the test, I took my own 3G iPhone to the heart of AT&T’s coverage area in MA (Boylston St. in Boston just across the street from Apple’s flagship store).
The video shows a side by side performance comparison running through an identical set of actions.
The results tell the story.

i tested my new iphone in white against this and honestly it wasnt that much slower, exactly i had a 20 second lag at the end, thats all

you can see that during the map locating using GPS the video cuts several times to speed up the actual time it takes.
I own one, it takes some time but I still love it.

Alright stop saying “well compared to other phones,” or “compared to the EDGE network,” or blah blah blah. The videomaker is trying to say the ADVERTISING is misleading. Which is OBVIOUSLY undeniable.
Of course though — every company does it to a more or lesser extent.

wow, if this is twice as fast, wonder how slow the older version would be! haha
December 20th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Hahahha. Nice video. This is really funny.

Well they talke about 3G and whats new about it. Not really about the iphone. But!! they movie misleads you because it actually looks darn fast then any other device. And it isn’t.
( i can say.. they phone is quite fast in real life.. ) but still… it’s misleading like other iphone commercials. Like they said you can visit ANY website with it. ( this is NOT true ).. again misleading. I like the products.. i hate the marketing.
December 24th, 2008 at 9:33 am
lol, i just laughed at you holding the phone so still. waiting… lol
December 27th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
yes of course you will have to wait.. no matter what you do on any device – you will always have to wait.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:40 am
it is twice as fast… compared to the edge model.. but yes, it is not comparable to the speed that the ad iphone is going at.. technically, they never said that it’s as fast as the advertised one, just twice as fast as iphone edge
January 1st, 2009 at 8:57 am
Like I mentioned earlier,
The iPhone is twice as fast when compared to its Edge-predecessor…. it is called the iPhone “3G”… “3G”

No… theres a difference between believable ads and non believable ads. Why the fuck would a company say theres a phone that is 2 times faster when it is evidently not. Thats misleading.
January 4th, 2009 at 12:51 am
The facts are that the phone is in fact twice as fast, the ad is obviously highlighting many of the popular applications; there are 4 applications in the 30-seconds ad. that’s less than 8 seconds an application Apple has to drive a point home.
I just sprayed some Axe on my body and there is a hoard of women coming my way.. thank god I believe everything I see in an ad
Of course I can also be subjective when it counts, like I really don’t drive a BMW on a road made of sheets of glass!
