20120405 161238Just a day after media reports pointed out the outdated billboard atop the West 14th Street flagship Apple Store in New York City, it has been replaced with an updated sign.

SplatF's Dan Frommer snapped a picture of the updated billboard showing a shot from the new iPad television ad with the iPad being used to make a painting.

The timing of the updated billboard so soon after the media's commentary on it yesterday is most likely a simple coincidence.

I agree it's most likely a coincidence. Surely they wouldn't suddenly get it changed within a day.

Nope - it is proof that Apple reads macrumors ... that is where they also get the ideas for the next iOS devices (but they always only manage to implement half of the requested features)

You take Apple far to seriously. An outdated billboard hardly means the world is ending. Even if it was an Apple billboard.

*sigh*
