I always think of ads like a big flashing sign saying "I'm trying to screw you over!"
Given how much research goes into psychology just to make them work, they're basically a form of malware for the brain (and sometimes for the device they run on).
This may come in handy later, thank you.
Spec sheet advertising, that's what I have been rambling about to anyone who'd listen. I would also add that the advertising should go ibto a catalogue of sorts, so if you're specifically out to buy things you pick one up (look it up online?) and look for tjings to buy. But you don't get pestered to buy anything when you're just out and about doing anything else, I think along with manipulation that's one of the main problems with modern advertising.
I realise the image is a concept, but the last option with the phone fully "unfurled" it looks like some kind of a futuristic RPG weapon - we've had gunblades, keyblades and now it is time for the phoneblade. I expect quite a few getting brokenby users trying to whoosh them through the air, I know I would try at least once.
It also reminds me of an image from early 2010s about the supposed progression of iPhones - something with a similar aspect ratio was an intermediate stage before turning into a full sized mat, and then Steve Jobs' head.
