evidence: Recently, a video clip was shared claiming that a Japanese journalist found an iPhone 13 in 1980. The claims in this video clip have been widely shared and reacted to by many Facebook users. However, Fact Crescendo’s fact-finding found that the claim posted on social media is misleading. [...] Fact Crescendo also found that, as of the release date of this article, no official information has been confirmed that a Japanese journalist did find the iPhone 13 in 1980. The claim of a Japanese journalist finding an iPhone 13 in 1980 is highly improbable and likely false. The iPhone series started with the original iPhone, which was released by Apple Inc. on June 29, 2007. Since then, Apple has released numerous iterations of the iPhone, with each new model introducing updated features, design changes, and technological advancements.
