  • This lacks validity and essentially amounts to a conspiracy theory. OP is cherry-picking specific examples to promote their article:

    • Their first example involves an Apple TV ad for ‘Lessons in Chemistry,’ only visible if you scroll to the very bottom of the page. The ‘add to bag’ bar is floating, so it always stays at the bottom of the screen, even under the ad, if you scroll far enough down.
    • The second example with the iPhone follows the common front/back shot used by Apple for all their phones. Given the limited space around the call-to-action, the camera array is more visually appealing than the top third of a powered-off iPhone.
    • And their watch example is the most far-fetched. Apple adds videos for a personalized experience. Naturally, a person talking in the video will look at the camera, simulating direct communication for a more personal touch.

    Clearly, OP is trying to promote their blog post but lacks thorough research. Apple does employ psychological strategies in marketing (like the angle of laptop screens in stores), but this isn’t one of them.
