An iPhone Pancake is a falsehood , a bad simulation, something that is either too good to be true or scary, too bad to be true. Or, something that is not what it seems. The description comes from the iPhone ads for the iPhone XS where a planet is depicted on the screen and it looks like a pancake because of the angle of the phone in the picture.
My mom got this email saying she owed the IRS $30,000. I checked it out it was a total iPhone Pancake.

Man, I met what i thought was this super hot girl last night at the Reggie's party, we went to her place and we got naked and she turned out to be a guy! A total iPhone Pancake!
