Apple Easter Eggs - The iPhone 11 Commercial

 Of all things that Apple is good at, hiding Easter Eggs in the most difficult places is at the top. Apple is the epitome of a company that loves fun, and Easter Eggs are just the thing that can make someone smile. Who knows that better than Apple?

I heard of Apple alright, but what's it's background?

[From Wikipedia]

Apple was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in 1976 to develop and sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer. It was incorporated by Jobs and Wozniak as Apple Computer, Inc. in 1977, and sales of its computers, including the Apple II, grew quickly. They went public in 1980 to instant financial success. Over the next few years, Apple shipped new computers featuring innovative graphical user interfaces, such as the original Macintosh, announced with the critically acclaimed advert "1984". However, the high price of its products and limited application library caused problems, as did power struggles between executives. In 1985, Wozniak departed Apple amicably, while Jobs resigned to found NeXT, taking some Apple co-workers with him.

When iPhone 11 was launched, the 2 hour launch event was superabstracted into 2 minutes of video that was posted on the company's official YouTube channel. The Easter Egg is a screen that appears for only 6 frames when the timestamp turns 1:24, and is incredibly hard to spot.
