I’ve done photo and video editing for years. Do you know how easy that is to fake?
i mean do you really think they’re gonna edit an iphone 16 into a picture for a tiktok ad? it looks like a dummy iphone 16 so i’m assuming they used one of those for some reason

I say that there is no way that is the soon to be released iPhone 16. Apple would not do something like that ahead of the official announcement.
yeah they probably just used a dummy 16 for the ad for whatever reason

It’s a dummy iPhone 16. A lot of YouTubers, such as Unbox Therapy, are in possession of them.

Probably creative photoshopping or a dummy model. Sometimes ads change phones just enough so they don't look the actual iPhone.

I guess State Farm insurance policy couldn't pay him for a replacement Pro Max?

It's actually a bad dummy with a poorly fitted case. The dummy has no flash LED and the case doesn't have a cutout for a flash.
