not only is it delicious irony to all of us who have been getting irritated with the constant barrage of false eliteism from Mac fanboys, the Apple commercials are as you say misleading.
They're not misleading to anyone with a little bit of experience in information security, but that's not the point. They're misleading to Apple's target audience - consumers that don't know a difference. Those consumers deserve to be made aware of the security risks of their Apple devices, just as they deserve the same information about any other product they own.
