This kind of artwork screw-up is entirely understandable, considering how it is impossible to get real pictures of the phone, how Apple doesn't really have a graphics department, the language barrier, [insert more unlikely excuses here].
Thanks to Geoff and everyone else sending this in. In-depth snarking here.

Okay, I can understandbeing lazy and using a Windows screenshot, but why is there a Parallels icon in the iPhone dock? That's surreal.
this wasn't really their disaster just a half arsed effort, the shot of the iphone running parallels is the first picture that shows up when you search iphone in google images.
i don't see parallels here in the image they used:

Why is it in syndication feeds, your pictures do not show up?
Na, here's the one they used

They just took the first iphone image you get if you use Google image search:

I don't understand this post at all.
I detect the noisome influence of Steve Balmer at work here- though I'm not entirely sure why.
Well, aside from a Windows desktop on an Apple iPhone. I guess that Microsoft needs all the exposure they can get since the Zune is doing so well. Or it's just some clueless art director thinking they can "punch up" Apple's graphics and "make it more computery and hot!"
Nice, earn some easy extra cashflow by just clicking 10 adds a day, I earn 160$ a month in extra cash and I only started 2 months ago. You shouldn't miss this one :

Channel 9 as usual.
"Havin' a WIN" n all that.
LMAO!
Most *****ing hilarious Photoshop disaster yet. How can anyone not see this as a disaster!! Why can't people get it?
Er, the language barrier? Between English-speaking Australia and the (allegedly) English-speaking US?
Language barrier = ironic joke.
Well, since it's clear that they just snagged the first image you find on google, it's not technically a PS mistake... just an image selection mistake.
The real thing to be concerned about is if the graphic designer actually got rights for the image before using it, or did they steal someones intellectual property(the photograph) and make major use of it for a corporate client?
'impossible to get real pictures of the iphone?'
dude, they're right there at apple.com/pr:

just laziness on the part of the graphics dept i reckon.
yeah, believe it or not it was actually a joke about not being able to get real images of the iPhone
this is a simple one, although people outside of Australia might not pick it up.. Channel 9, the channel featured in this story, well. they are in bed with microsoft.
their website, ninemsn.com.au

Please, if you are unable to grasp simple irony, stay off this damn site. Thank you.
Balls to you, too, Rob. It's not unlikely that an American poster would not know that Australians speak English. Even the US President doesn't know the difference between Australia and Austria, and he was in Australia at the time.
Welcher Depp war denn dafür zuständig??? xD
*augenkrebs bekomm*
I think you overestimate our president.
The less than mediocre German magazine "Windows Vista Magazin" used your picture. I don't think they asked for permission, did they?
