I actually enjoyed the meme but I think because of the analogy’s incongruity it would be better received as a shitpost
Same energy
ITT: ppl who take jokes too serious.
Yes, this was just a meant to small dig about these debates beeing stupid and pointless, especially on a memes subreddit.
People are taking this way too serious. Proves my point of the original post not fitting a memes subreddit.
If this is still about the Android vs iPhone thing, you’re still wrong
I’m on neither side, I just think these kind of arguments don’t fit a memes subreddit, so I wanted to memify the original post.
Isn’t this almost the inverse argument to the android vs iPhone thing? Like the iPhone being (traditionally) more expensive for the “same technology from 5 years ago”? I don’t really have a horse in this race, I’m a firm believer in use what you like and is easiest/best for you. But I do feel compelled to call this one out a bit.
The meme they’re satirizing directly, this one here, was comparing an $800 iPhone 16 with a $1300 Xperia 1 iii from three years ago.
It was pointed out several times that a few of the specs listed were things available on the iPhone 13 Pro, for a similar price point, also in 2021.
Comparing an older, more expensive thing to a newer, cheaper thing and claiming the newer cheaper thing users are missing out is disingenuous.
But of course the whole thing is stupid. People should just buy the phone they want that meets their needs and their wallets. My suspicion is that this type of behavior is the same as it was during the console wars: deep down people are insecure about their decisions and so they mock the decisions of others.
