New iPhone print ad debuts
A new iPhone print ad has debuted and is featured in the August 2007 issue of Details Magazine. The ad features a right-facing iPhone on a black background, with a hand coming from the right, seemingly lit only by the phone, interacting with it. Below the image is the tagline “Touching is believing.” MacDailyNews has suggested that in light of the “Jesus Phone” or “God Phone” moniker some have applied to the iPhone, the ad may be deliberately referencing Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam fresco found in the Sistine Chapel. Keep reading to see the ad.

This ad shows the “bell” image on the silent ringer switch on the side at the top of the phone. Most phones that I have seen only have an orange dot instead of the bell.
