Is the man at the right in this 1670 painting holding an iPhone or just a letter?


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is an article in The U.S. Sun by Jacob Bentley-York on October 7, 2022 titled More ‘proof’ time travel is REAL as ‘iPhone’ is spotted in 350-year-old painting in Amsterdam museum. But, as shown above in the painting by Pieter de Hooch, the man is more likely just holding a letter in an envelope. Thinking it’s an iPhone is an example of pareidolia, which the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines as:

 

“the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.”

 

An earlier article about Tim Cook in the New York Magazine – Intelligencer by Madison Malone Kircher on May 25, 2016 is titled Apple CEO loves iPhones so much he saw one in this 300-year-old painting.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It got mentioned again after a second article in The U.S. Sun on October 4, 2022 by Olivia Burke titled THY-PHONE ‘Time traveler’ woman seen holding an iPhone in 150-year-old painting, viewers claim – but experts have a simple answer. As shown above, in that painting her hands more likely are holding a pocket-sized prayer book.
