London - An Apple (NASD: AAPL) iPhone advertisement has been banned by the U.K. Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), over its claim to offer access to "all parts of the Internet," Silicon.com reported. The ASA pointed out that the iPhone doesn't currently support Flash or Java applications running on many websites. Apple had argued that its "all parts of the Internet" claim referred to its ability to display real Web pages, rather than only WAP sites or operator-controlled content.
