Apple's iOS is an illness, says new HTC ad Technically Incorrect: In an ad that mocks rival phones and disorders in equal measure, HTC offers its latest attempt to outdo its last attempt at strange advertising. Yes, iOS is Irritable Operating System, apparently.
Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.
You may feel like this after watching HTC's new ad.
Pharmaceutical advertising is almost as enjoyable as some of the diseases it makes up.
It's therefore difficult to mock something that is inherently funny in the first place.
However, HTC -- slightly renowned for its occasionally bizarre advertising -- isn't easily deterred from adding to its repertoire.
So it has revealed an oeuvre that is positively brimming with what some might call humor, others might call lack of humor and still others might call startlingly tasteless spittle aimed at other phone manufacturers and especially those suffering from depression.
I take the fifth (glass of wine), naturally.
The ad purports to be for a drug called Cellami. But this, of course, is Cellami on wry. It wonders whether you might be suffering from Bi-Phonal Displeasure Disorder. This is the illness which makes you get no joy from either Apple or Samsung.

After using a number of Android based cell phones while at work.I have found the Apple IOS to be easy to use and customer friendly.
When I need to make a call I don’t want to read a manual before I do.
The IOS is that easy to use.
Amusing. I haven’t seen a parody ad in quite a while.
That is outstanding!
