Stupid TV Ad / Scam?

The other day I was watching TV and this ad came on about winning an iPhone, and I said to the others watching TV “Did you see that” and as usual they weren’t paying attention.

So I explained it to them, The ad said “Win an iPhone” they said “Yeah, and?” I responded the iPhone isn’t out here (Australia) yet, it won’t work here, my mum said “Why not” so I had to explain to her that the iPhone is locked to a specific service like AT&T for example, and then said who the right state of mind would ring up or do whatever the ad said to “Win an iPhone” ?

It’s clearly a scam of some kind, whoever cleared that ad to be shown on TV should be fired to allowing shit like that to be on tv.

Here is a speed test I did:
