On the heels of a judge's decision to allow Verizon to continue running commercials that attack AT&T's 3G network, Apple is reportedly prepping an iPhone ad campaign that defends AT&T's capabilities.

Apple will kick off the campaign Monday night with two ads that show an iPhone user talking to a friend while simultaneously surfing the phone's browser for information about movies and restaurants, or accessing e-mail, Engadget reports,

"Can your phone and your network do that?" a voiceover asks at the end.

The ads come several days after a judge denied AT&T's request to pull several Verizon ads that criticize AT&T's 3G network. Earlier this month, AT&T sued Verizon, claiming that Verizon's ads erroneously suggest that customers not connected to AT&T's network will not be able to use their phones at all. Verizon's response - the truth hurts.

Recently, AT&T debuted an ad starring actor Luke Wilson, which defended the company's network.

An AT&T spokesman said that questions about the ads should be directed to Apple. Apple has not yet responded to a request for comment.
