Man, Black Friday this year looks to be pretty lame. But I just saw this ad on 9to5mac. If this is true, I'll stand in line at Apple.

That ad must have been leaked from an alternate universe where Apple does that sort of thing.

Definitely fake. Since when does Apple refer to iPhone as 'Apple iPhone'? Not to mention, it's 'iPod shuffle', not 'iPod Shuffle', like in the ad.

Nice try though, whoever did it.

Yeah, Fake.

Apple never uses Myriad Pro Regular weight. They pretty much always stick to the Semibold variety.

And who the CRAP superscripts "am/pm"? I've never seen that before.

It's seems that even ads now have Chinese imitations.
