Original review summary

Fact Crescendo found the claim misleading: the video was from the 2023 Japanese series “The Woman Who Knew Too Much,” not a real discovery in 1980. The review says the video itself identifies the scene as fiction.[S1]

Additional context

The iPhone could not have been found in 1980: Apple released its original iPhone on June 29, 2007. [S1]
