Apple just can't get enough of comparing two companies, just like in its new spot for the AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4 Commercial.
It resembles much like the famous "Get A Mac" campaign but replaces Justin Long and John Hodgman with two major US telecom companies who are currently battling for the same iPhone customers. In the new AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4 Commercial, Apple intervenes in the fight, suggesting to the rivals that "Two is better than one."
