Yes I agree, the problem was not with their actual claims in writing but with what they showed in the ads directly contradicting what they said in writing.

What the original poster wants though is ridiculous, and would result in companies being unable to make any claims or publish any specs, because there are always conditions for just about any claim.

I mean, you could publish immutable specs like the size, weight, and number of pixels, but pretty much anything else is subject to change depending on usage conditions. Heck, even RAM and NAND would probably be hit because "not all 6GB are available to apps, they should have listed only what's left after the OS takes its share".
