Itâ€™s not all that destructive, doesnâ€™t express negatives about the iPhone, but just targets AT&amp;Tâ€™s softness â€“ lack of 3G coverage. That being said, the red heat-map of Verizonâ€™s coverage shown in the commercial looks over exaggerated. Doesnâ€™t look 5X, but looks more like 10x more coverage, which again would be misleading in AT&amp;Tâ€™s point of view.
