I'm with Andy on this one. This is an issue on any device capable of showing a movie, be it the iPad, an iPhone, every Android phone, every TV ever made and so on. Mixed aspect ratios aren't new, nor is marketing changing images to make it look better in promo material.

I still wonder what it is about Apple that attracts this unequal level of nitpicking. Their marketing team does the same thing the rest of the industry does. But yet some people are only horribly offended when Apple does something, enough to make the image Caleb posted. Seriously, did Jobs personally punch that many people when they were in kindergarden?
