Can advertisement photos reflect real-world possibilities? In the case of Apple iPhone 6, apparently giant billboards convey realistic message.
Everyone knows that billboards can be big and unwieldy things. Sometimes, because of their size, they have to bend a little to fit into the limited space of our puny little planet. And sometimes the thing that's being advertised is so perfectly in sync with the billboard's shape as to require no further explanation.
The massive advert for the iPhone 6 above is purportedly from Berlin — a place where Samsung also maintains a big presence — while the promotional poster below comes from a store in the Netherlands. Either they're delightfully grand examples of self-sabotage or incredibly witty visual satire.
Verge reader Tom in Berlin who went to check out the crooked billboard and confirmed its unfortunate (for Apple) shape. The Dutch signage has also been confirmed to be real, as part of a KPN in-store demo area.
