74th advertiser in the US... yes... 73 other companies being in front of one of the biggest technology companies in the world... thus apple spends a relatively little amount on advertising. having figures and statistics is only a 'proof' if you can empirically use them to PROVE SOMETHING. trying to spin statistics to suit your (fundamentally wrong) argument is a form of phoney-fraud. ever heard the saying 'there's lies, damn lies, and then statistics'? that applies to people like you that try to take any concrete form of number and then use it, with no context, reference or relevance, to their own argument.

considering apple's size, 73 other companies behind ahead of them in american advertizing is extremely surprising. that's a lot of companies spending a LOT of money on a LOT of adveritising. it just goes to show that with a relatively little amount of TV airtime and network broadcasting, apple's 'iconic' adverts have done a great job. it's probably a complimentary service to apple's marketing that you're so adamant that they advertize a lot, and everywhere (because of you remembering it, or claiming to)- despite the fact that they actually don't spend much at all. it's incredibly cost-efficient and effective.

I would go ahead and buy it. At 40%, that's not bad. Just get the wifi only model, though, unless you really want to have that the 3G data plan.

Lol uzique... "no context, reference or relevance". You are 100% correct, it clearly has no context or relevance as their position in the US as an advertiser has nothing to do with advertising. No reference, true, use Google: largest advertisers US, Im sorry I assumed with your superior intellect you knew how to use the Internet, I apologise, my mistake.

If you think being in the top 75 advertisers in the US out of hundreds of thousands of companies you are out of touch with reality and thats ignoring the fact that the PERCENTAGE of spending is what is important. Apple spend 10% of their budget on advertising, their nearest rival in their markets, Microsoft spends 3%. 10% of your budget is a HUGE amount, rather than "[not] much at all".

Yet again you fail at reading comprehension Uzique, I have clearly stated it is cost-efficient, that doesn't stop it being a huge amount.

You keep believing Apple spends nothing on advertising if that lets you sleep at night, next to your Mac, iphone and ipad.
