3G iPhone Ad vs Real World: A performance comparison



Uploaded by: rrrrrrrroooooooo
Video Description:
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.

good video, tho 3g performance will vary even if one has five bars. no web flash and safari slow down web loading speeds. As far as lag with apps and such, i feel lag is almost a thing of the past.

Actually the new ads say that. The original unslow ad without any such qualifier. I believe most if not all of Apple's current crop of iPhone ads run with the fine print 'sequence shortened'. I don't have any problem with that. I'm glad they made the correction.

WHATEVER! Try doing any of those things on a windows mobile phone, and the you'll know the pain and agony of waiting... The issue isn't the phone you dolt, it's the damn network! AT&T's logo resembles the Death Star for a reason... they're the AntiChrist of the communications industry, which is a position they share with Qwest communications. Apple proved its technical superiority whith a product that NOBODY has caught up to yet. I say this as a developer for windows mobile devices.

If their network is terrible, why was it possible for me to pull 3Mbit EASILY with my Tilt? I tethered it to my laptop while on vacation and had no problems with slowness. The issue is with the CPU in the iPhone. It is not as fast as the commercials claim it is. The network is fine with other 3G phones. Hmmmmmmm.

OMG what an idiot! The advertisement is not misleading! Of course the performance is slower on the 3G-net outside/in the city. If you're hooked up to the wi-fi at home, it goes as fast as on the commercial. I've tested this, and the commercial is NOT MISLEADING!

I would love to see a Windows Mobile Device do this, it would probably crash first though and you would have to use the "slick" task manager. "Don't choose the wrong process though, you could break it." - says the unbiased Steve Jobs.
Can I just ask, what do people get out of this? Why would you go to such efforts to prove one advert wrong? Is it your job or is it just because you're sad?
And who proves Apple wrong using a Mac?
