Every time I see one of those commercials, all I can think of is that it looks like a mammogram. I know it's probably a retina, but still....? Was it just men who made the commercial, and no one saw the resemblance? Minor, petty issue, but still, it bugs me.

Are you talking about the phone's background? It's a close up of a soap bubble. I think it looks like a planet. Mammograms never crossed my mind.

Yeah, I was thinking planet. I never thought mammogram either.

Guess I don't pay enough attention to commercials or I am thinking of the wrong one. Is it the one where there are two phones being moved around, on each other? I think that one looks like a retina.

I believe this is the commercial we're discussing? Those are some weird-shaped nippleless boobs!

Yes, that is it. Ok, now that I am seeing it again, it looks like a planet. I think I was thinking of another commercial that looks like an eye.

Thank you for the image.

I never paid attention to that, like all commercials, I can't hit the MUTE fast enough and ignore them. But after this post I did notice the ad. Looks like the planet Titan to me.

I finally saw this last night and I totally agree with you. I was fast forwarding through the ads, and I saw what looked to me exactly like a mammogram displayed on a small screen. Being a woman in my 60s, I was interested in what was apparently a new type of technology for mammograms that might be a choice at my next exam, so I stopped it to watch the ad. I was pretty surprised to find out that it was for a phone.

Honestly, apparently there was not one woman over 45 in the group vetting this ad?

Thank you! I just googled mammogram images and the resemblance is definitely there. Every time I see the ad it's the first thing that pops into my head. Maybe it's the universe telling me I'm overdue for one!
