Apple wins fight in U.K. over iPhone v Android claims

It is misleading. I have encountered a lot of individuals who seem confused, and some even believe that you can't run them on the iPod Touch because of that. "But the commercial says only on the iPhone". It is a blatant lie regardless of which store is better. If Google was making the same claim I would still be upset. I do have some bias towards Apple mainly because they have a number of ads and such saying their stuff is perfect which is is by far from. No system I have ever encountered was perfect nor will it ever be. Besides they should spend less on their ads and more on fixing their XCode environment which still to this day will randomly eat perfectly good signature files, and give you no helpful error messages when uploading the new binaries. I will say that slowly most of my apps are becoming Android specific, and at one point I can make the valid claim "only on Android".

Wow, spin much? Here's how it works:

1) Users complained that "only on iPhone" was misleading, because the same apps could be found on the Android Store, and the Android Store provided the same function.
2) The ASA found that the App Store was distinct enough from the Android Store that users were unlikely to misunderstand what "only on iPhone" meant.

They ASA made no decision about which store was "better".

Typos:
"it's App Store" --> "its App Store"
"for it's first generation" --> "for its first generation"

Yeah but how many of those 50,000 are crap or junk? Most.

Apple has apps for just about anything.... except Google Voice.
