Also, none of my friends are as attractive as the models used on the Facetime page. Stop faking my friends. Apple, please fix this.

As a side note, doesn't the guy talking to the woman with the baby look like a younger and chubbier steve jobs? You know iClone is coming soon. Everyone will get a hot model. Hell with Microsoft, I'm switching for sure when that happens.

I'm thinking that Jonathan Ives is turning in to Steve Jobs.

What on earth are you expecting? Should Apple load pictures of your friends off Facebook or Flickr?
Models used in advertising have always been more attractive on average. Even the comparatively unattractive models are more photogenic on average. And what does this have to do with the topic?
Stop cluttering HN with petty complaints about Apple.

Do you know what sarcasm is? If not, read up on that, then reread the post you replied to.
Hint: you are agreeing with the post you are replying to.

Yeah, I know what sarcasm is. Famously known as being difficult to communicate on the Internet. You might want to read up on that.
It's only obvious this is sarcasm after reading the last line of the OP. Without that context, it's indistinguishable from the petty complaints around here. Therefore, misdirected anger remains. Rargh.
I also don't think the OP is making a petty complaint (even if it probably got upvoted for petty reasons), as the representation IS potentially misleading, despite there being good reasons for it.
