When Verizon has a good enough relationship with Apple for Apple to allow Verizon to air a commercial for an Apple product (the iPad), methinks that we are just a few months away from Verizon selling the iPhone. As Sam Oliver of AppleInsider notes: "The commercial is particularly noteworthy because Apple is a company very controlling of its own image."
I think my favorite part of the commercial is the beginning where the disclaimer says "screens simulated." There is a house flying away in pieces all by itself, and yet someone still thinks that we better warn people that this is just a commercial and didn't really happen that way in real life. Gotta love lawyers.
