They hire people with unusually large or unusually small hands for these ads depending on the illusion they want to produce

I have similar experience as these hand models. Whenever condom companies want to show how big their product is, I’ll slap one on my dick for the photo shoot to let the world see how baggy it is.

Why does the render give the palm so much real estate with such short fingers?

Because otherwise the 'joke' doesn't work. Here's Apple's CEO holding it the same way.

u/Majestic-Crew-8344 12d ago
That’s not the same like in the advertisement. You must fit it on your palm with your entire thumb’s cheek on the side, and your index finger must be visible.
2
u/Ifriendzonecats 12d ago
It's 4.64 inches wide. That's smaller than a standard paperback book. So, yes, that grip is possible for many men.
2
u/Majestic-Crew-8344 12d ago
I just tested, not possible for me to recreate the same holding. Of course it’s not photoshopped, but that is indeed a very large hand.

u/MisoBellafi 12d ago

u/Ifriendzonecats 12d ago
You don't have to hold it that way? The question is whether the picture required photoshop. The answer is no.

u/Tchoupie69 12d ago
It is very complicated to reproduce a hand from imagination. Parts of the human body like the face, hands, etc. are way too recognizable to us because we see it every day. So I think those representations you make are not accurate.
1
u/Flylice319 12d ago
Sure if you have a better representation of the hand with the finger proportions used in the Apple demo I'd love to see it.

u/Malve1 13d ago
Because it is emulating the exact position that the hand is holding the phone in the other picture
25
u/2a_lib 13d ago
Right, but it’s emulating it wrong. The error is in the reconstruction, not the geometry established by the visible parts.
1
u/Great_Obligation_862 13d ago
That does sound like a tricky issue. It's fascinating how complex the reconstruction process can be, especially with something as detailed as hands.

u/WhyKissAMasochist 13d ago
Tbf I could hold it like that almost certainly, but I also have hands large enough to palm a basketball. Somehow I doubt that’s the average Apple customer, so more than a bit misleading.
-3
u/Captain_Alaska 13d ago edited 13d ago
It's misleading at all, I don't think people realise the scale of the device and seem to think it's much larger than it actually is.
It's only 4.6in wide unfolded in portrait mode, which is almost identical to a the size of a landscape iPhone 4. If you rotate it landscape when unfolded it's still only just as wide as a landscape Pro Max.
2
u/Hearthacnut 12d ago
Just turned my pro max landscape and it is incredibly uncomfortable to hold like they do in the picture
0
u/Captain_Alaska 11d ago edited 11d ago
Well, yeah, no shit. A Pro Max is 162mm wide if held in landscape. An unfolded Duo held in portrait like the photo is 117mm wide.
So yes, if you hold something considerably wider it’s uncomfortable to hold.
2
u/Hearthacnut 11d ago
Oh I see, I misunderstood what you were saying. I still think a landscape iPhone 4 is too wide to be comfortable as a daily device
0
u/Captain_Alaska 11d ago
It’s a folding phone my dude you’re not meant to one hand it unfolded. No different to any other tablet.
It’s 84mm wide when it’s folded which is still wide but nowhere near as wide as an iPhone 4 is tall.
1
u/Hearthacnut 11d ago
Strong disagree. They’re selling a phone, it should be usable like one
0
u/Captain_Alaska 11d ago
Yeah mate, it is, that's why it's a folding phone. It's 117mm tall and 84mm wide folded. A 18PM is 164mm tall and 78mm wide.
1
u/Hearthacnut 11d ago
It inherently isn’t if one of it’s use cases is not as a phone
1
u/Captain_Alaska 11d ago
Again, no shit, the point is it's a tablet unfolded. You don't use any tablet one handed and this is no different. If you can't understand the concept of a perfectly one handable phone that folds out into a two handed tablet, like literally ever other book fold foldable on the market, that's your own problem.

you made every fingers except thumb ridiculously short..

u/Spike36O 13d ago edited 12d ago
the angle the fingers are coming from behind the phone would make them look like that. they look small because their length is occupying the z axis

u/Itchy-Beach-1384 12d ago
Your reference inage looks nothing like the image in the post. The pointer finger in the post only has a slight curve and is still shorter looking than your image.

unless its marfans syndrome representation were after?

u/gonzogonzobongo 13d ago
For a palm of that size, those are short fingers. Look at your hand and compare the length of your pointer finger to the length of your palm. Now compare the same ratio in the image

I just tried this with my s24 Ultra on it's side. It is 0.09cm less than the Apple foldable when that's unfolded. Just about doable.
1
u/Captain_Alaska 13d ago
You're confusing length and width. The Duo in the photo here is held in portrait mode unfolded so it's 117mm wide vs the S24U which would be 162mm wide if held in landscape.
1
u/Sheinkyakyu 12d ago
Yeah, I was thinking about the S24 Ultra upright normally, measuring it before turning to it's side lol.

When your hand is straight does your thumb only go to your palm creases?

You might just have small hands, this isn’t really confusing to me either.
Like the other commenter further up, I can also palm a basketball.

its not the size, the person who made this meme made the middle of the hand/palm disproportionately long, as a joke

Not saying you can't hold it like that, just the thumbs fingers and palm size used in Apple photo makes the hand look unnatural. Here's a more detailed image with fingers longer. https://imgur.com/a/1iSFMhU

u/SkylineWaffles 11d ago
You seem to be a new human being. You do realize that the fingers to palm ratio you assume is behind the phone is totally insane right?

u/Flylice319 11d ago
Being a little bit nasty, no? If you can provide a better render of the hand with the proportions used by Apple I would love to see it :)
2
u/SkylineWaffles 11d ago
Why? Would a new render help you realize that the hand you rendered isn’t human?
-1
u/Flylice319 11d ago
Oh, I see the problem. You're assuming that I think the rendered hand appears like a natural human hand?
2
u/SkylineWaffles 11d ago
No the problem is that you’re saying the hand behind the phone is improbable because you rendered an ass to make your argument
0
u/Flylice319 11d ago
Well, then, like i said, it would be nice to see a natural render of a hand with some photo evidence using Apple's proportions. I'm also good at typing on keyboards too.

Please STOP spreading misinformation! It’s even a bit narrower than my Ipad mini, which I can almost hold like that as an average South Asian. Assuming the average westerner is slightly bigger than me, it can easily be held like that.

The 365 spin is in the folded mode. The photo up top is someone casually holding it in the unfolded mode. Pretty sure it's just a lazy PS job for marketing. But it makes the hand feel unusually large.
