When Fiction Becomes Fact: The iPhone in the painting.

  

There is a painting, The Expected One, completed in 1860 by the Austrian artist Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, which millions of people claim shows a woman on an iPhone.  Supposedly, the woman is depicted holding the phone and staring down at it as she strolls along. The claims caused such an uproar that experts in the field had publicly declared that they had studied the painting and found the woman is not holding an iPhone, rather is holding a book of prayers which she is reading as she walks.
