Apple’s Festive Makeover of Battersea Power Station
What’s On the Canvas?
Apple is pulling a prank on the city’s skyline by showcasing a brand‑new Wallace & Gromit stop‑motion animation on the gargantuan façade of Battersea Power Station. It’s a cheeky visual treat that makes even the most serious power station feel like a cartoon playground.
Timing is Everything
The little stop‑motion show will be playing for everyone from now until New Year’s Eve, with daily screenings from 5 pm to 10:30 pm. So grab a half‑scoop of hot cocoa and mind your line—there are no front‑row seats folks, just a very large screen.
Why Wall‑Sub-Plot?
- It’s part of Apple’s “Shot on iPhone” promotion.
- The animation studio Aardman managed to cram six minutes of fun onto a screen using nothing but the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s Telephoto lens.
- A Daniel—sorry, we mean “Screenglass”—excuse for bringing gadgets to the mtg?
Key Takeaway
Apple’s latest marketing move is proof that even the latest phones can bring classic British stop‑motion stories to life—quite literally, on a 100‑meter canvas. It’s a reminder that the holiday season is still the perfect time to mix tech with a bit of whacky animation.
Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro Max Visual Spectacle
Picture this: Apple’s studio whipped up a massive 6K image by stitching together eight iPhone 16 Pro Max units and the Dragonframe Tether app, shooting 4K stills and then combining them. The result? Tiny 23‑cm characters were blown onto a 101‑m screen—mind‑blowing, right?
