Bride wanted to 'vomit' after iPhone caught two different reflections in mirror
A woman created a 'glitch in the Matrix' when trying on wedding dresses ahead of her special day. Writer and comedian Tessa Coates has taken to Instagram to share a spooky picture of her trying on gowns in front of two mirrors.
In one reflection, she is seen with her arms down by her side, but in the other, they're crossed in front of her stomach. In the caption, she wrote: "I went wedding dress shopping, and the fabric of reality crumbled. This is a real photo, not photoshopped, not a panorama, not a Live Photo.
“If you can’t see the problem, please keep looking and then you won’t be able to unsee it.” Freaked out, she claims the 'glitch in the Matrix' almost made her throw up in the middle of the street after her appointment.
Equally as confused, social media users started flooding her comment section in an attempt to figure out what was happening in the image. One user said: "Only you can find the most epic way to announce your engagement – mystery and excitement – congratulations!"

Another user added: "This whole sequence of events is both absolutely terrifying and hilarious." A third user said: "Obsessed that this is the deranged way you accidentally announced the engagement." One more user added: "What in the Black Mirror is happening?”
A fifth user said: "How is this possible?!?! Magic mirrors." As Tessa was trying on dresses alone, she sent the snaps to her sister, who ended up spotting the creepy shot. She added: "My sister is a very rational person so she asked one of the tech people she works with. She told me eight men were looking at the photo and all freaking out.
"I am freaking out, so the first thing I did was go back to the shop and ask if they were in fact mirrors or cameras." Not knowing where to turn, Tessa went into an Apple Store to ask a 'Genius' to help her figure out the double reflection.
After waiting two hours to speak to somebody, an Apple employee, named Roger, admitted he's never seen anything like it. He explained how 'phones are computers not cameras', and take a burst of images from left to right to capture one shot, even when Apple's live photo setting is turned off.
He believes Tessa must have raised her arms the exact moment the camera went behind her, resulting in the bizarre image. Recounting Roger's explanation, Tessa said: "“It’s made like an AI decision and it stitched those two photos together.
"And one very clever person on Twitter found the exact line on my back, it’s a tiny tiny bit that’s not completely in line and that’s where the photos are stitched together.” The comedian also shared a photo in her Instagram Stories circling the line where the two photos joined.
She added: "They also said that Google Pixel – this is not a Google Pixel phone, this is an iPhone – have brought out this new technology where you take multiple photos and it chooses the best photo for you, and iPhone are Beta testing this technology.
“So if you look at the left side, that’s a complete image, if you look at the right side, that’s also a complete image.” Roger admitted the end result was a “one in a million chance” and is unlikely to happen to many other iPhone users.
