I was quite surprised that Apple didn't build-in QR scanning abilities into iOS 5 / iPhone 4s. They probably share your thoughts regarding the look of QR codes and are waiting for adoption rates to be higher (I.e. 'cross the chasm'). Or they're waiting on a more designer-friendly solution to fill the gap. I believe Android phones have QR scanning built-in.

Agreed. I have been waiting for iPhone and Android to build QR scanning capability natively in the Camera app. BTW, Android phones (atleast until Gingerbread) does NOT have it built-in either. You have to use Goggles apps (or I prefer RedLaser)

I would assume that Apple doesn't support QR codes because most consumers don't particularly have a use for them. I see QR codes everywhere in NYC, but actually getting one onto my phone involves stopping, taking my phone out, spending 10-30 seconds with the QR code. If your advertisement is capable of inducing me to do that much work, that's a pretty fantastic advertisement. However, despite the QR codes being damn near everywhere, I've still not bothered to scan one. QR codes are, in my estimation, a fad.
