This is not an original copy of the advertisement. This is typeset horribly from the original text of the ad, probably.

Giveaways are brutal/ill placed line breaks, zero quotes being curly ones (single and double), -- instead of a en/em dash, missing hypenation or existing one that does not align with typesetting "dis- play", etc., etc.

Why not use an image of the original instead? [1]

Jobs would have never signed off on a typographic eyesore like this. :]

Jobs might have had a good eye for typography but he seems to have had a blind spot when it came to grocers’ apostrophes. :)
