Why it works
A real phone and stand establish physical proof at frame 0; an in-screen form is already visible by 0.25 s and becomes a large wave around 9–11 s. The one 549-frame shot has no cuts or camera move, so the viewer can compare the changing screen against stable surroundings while the functional readout remains visible.
