| woah - that's pretty shocking to me actually. in the past they generally have just used flattering angles. This is downright deception. |

| This is literally just a flattering angle. Not saying it's not deceptive, but they didn't "edit" the camera bump out of the image. |

In the initial animation at the top where the hand grabs it too. the bump is very clear in shots later! wait... could they have hidden it under the hand? and why does that person's thumb seem extra long?! the more I look at this the less I understand it. | | |

At arms length, on my phone, if I make it so the flat surface is completely aligned with my center of vision, the bottom side covers at least 1mm of whatever is on the underside. The closer one gets to the phone, the more pronounced the effect. The video keeps triggering my sense of seeing CGI, but the hiding effect on display can absolutely be accomplished in camera. |

| I presume it is a flattering angle instead of a falsified image. The camera bump is near the one large button, which was furthest from the camera when they rotate it, so the iPad could have been angled slightly to hide the bump. Maybe someone can try to reproduce it after it comes out to see if it is a false image. |
