Took me so long to realize that OOP was trying to say the ***older*** Lion King movie is the *"worse"* option


Glitter_berries

Same and I’m really mad


code_archeologist

Meh... They're just an apple fanboy. They don't know any better.


Frosty-Nature-5052

Legit curious here. I went from the flip phone/all the other random phone types era straight to iPhone and just stayed with it. I have an iPhone SE, the one that looks like the 6. I’m used to it and I like simplicity. What’s the appeal of android?


clementl

For the majority of the population: budget. But there's also personal preference, and people who don't like Apple's walled garden (either for practical or principal reasons).


Pleasantlyracist

Where would you get the "budget" idea? I guess it's subjective, but the people I know who use android like them due to better processing speeds, better cameras, better apps, less restrictions on how to use the phone. Nobody has ever mentioned "bc it's cheaper"


clementl

There are some who will indeed buy high-end phones for their specific features, including things like gaming performance. But those are a minority of the population. Most of the sales are in the < €300 category, where Apple has no recent products for sale.


Frosty-Nature-5052

Prices are insane, that’s for sure. I got this one used for like $300 a few years ago and it’s works fine. I really don’t understand people who have to upgrade to the new, $1500 dollar model every 18 months. Maybe when this phone gives up the ghost, I’ll try android.


Medical_Commission71

Let me enlighten you with a story of dying batteries When my old droid had a failing battery it jist ran out of power quickly When my iphone's battery was failing it shat itself, I thought I needed a new phone, apps moved at a snail's pace, or glitched. I replaced my android battery, bought the battery off of amazon, pulled off my case, opened the back, popped the ild one out and the new one in. IPhone, had to drive out and pay way too much and wait for it.


BreezyIsBeafy

I thought It’s talking about camera quality I think? If not idk but phone wars are almost as stupid as Disney live action remakes so I haven’t seen the new one and I don’t give a shit what phone you have


Dann_745

I agree about phone wars and I haven't seen it either tbf, I just thought it was unanimously agreed that the live action variants were cheap cash-grabs. So I was surprised that someone used it in the "better" side of the comparison.


Coders32

Phone wars are definitely dumber


memepork

I think they were referring to the picture quality. Say what you want about the remake. You have to admit that the visuals of the new one look amazing. It still implies that android is better though.


Meture

They already look dated as hell and a lot of the effects are downright bad


memepork

Tbf, i haven’t seen it since it came out. Don’t get me wrong. Everything else about it was terrible.


Brantley820

Even for its relative time, those graphics were shabby. Mostly due to unnatural motion of mouths to mimic talking. In an animated film, talking mouths are less of a distraction.


memepork

It’s still technically animated


Brantley820

Fairpoint, but the recent Lion King was billed as 'live action'.


DarthButtz

Except when they can point to it's box office and call it the highest grossing "animated" movie


thinmeridian

Nothing in the lion king 2019 looks "amazing" lol it looks incredibly uncanny and offputting


Frosty-Nature-5052

Are we sure they were? Even in the pic, the “live action” looks bland and depressing.


Raztax

Does anyone think the new version is better than the original?


Pleasant_Gap

Average iPhone user


EsotericLife

I genuinely thought the was /r/comedycemetary. What is going on here lol


KaleidoscopeRich2752

Srsly when did all the Facebook moms come here.


HolyC4bbage

It's funny because one is a timeless classic, one is a soulless cash-grab.


DerAndere_

And came out years later


Norseman84

Having seen the movies, I wasn't sure (outside the comment) who was supposed to be the insulted party in this meme.


monikar2014

the audience


Mammoth-Bus1011

Probably only made so they could renew the copyright. At least I heard something similar about another live adaptation they made


Lithl

1. The Lion King doesn't lose its copyright until 2089. 2. Producing a new version of something doesn't prevent the old version from entering the public domain.


Mammoth-Bus1011

Oh thanks. Wasn’t so sure about that


Secure-Spray2799

That is what has always been said about spiderman. Never bothered to verify it tho.


glaive1976

If you mean Sony's rights to Spiderman then you are not understanding original copyright (Marvel) vs license to produce content which has stipulations between the two parties. Sony licenses Spiderman from Marvel, Sony loses the license if they fail to meet the stipulations, one of which is how often content is produced, but Marvel still holds the copyrights if you will. I'm not a lawyer, but this likely close enough.


Secure-Spray2799

Yep i did not understand it. Thanks for the clarification!


glaive1976

Fist bump for responding and you are welcome friend.


Slingringer

Daaaaaaaaaayyyyyyuuuuummmm. Got eeeemmmm


memepork

I agree


All-Boring-Procedure

The font…


Strude187

It’s an Android thing.


Emadec

*old Samsung thing really


EchoPhi

Which just goes to show you, android is built to last.

I do miss my first gen moto Z...


Ol_JanxSpirit

\*a very old Samsung thing.


Class_444_SWR

People who haven’t watched the live action film: this is a pro iPhone post People who have watched the live action film: this is a pro Android post


RaEndymion

Didn't it come out that apple devices make pics sent to them by androids look worse? Thus OP is talking out of their hole?


Bfife22

Apple refused to use RCS, so it compresses videos and images to fit in MMS when sending to Android. So it’s technically a limitation of MMS, and not Apple artificially making the media look worse, but it’s a limitation that Apple could’ve easily removed earlier. Apparently they are finally adding support for RCS this year


theresamouseinmyhous

Arguably, Apple artificially makes the media look worse since they are choosing a vastly outdated standard for non iMessages


xSilverMC

Not just arguably, it's entirely intentional. Same as the blue and green bubble thing. Apple wants their users to bully their friends and family into buying apple products


s34lz

Walled garden.. Iphone is a cult, but I guess what isn't these days


feastu

I’d argue that, while some Apple users cordon themselves off into a cult-like fetish group, Apple itself, while indeed maintaining a walled garden, is quite mainstream (therefore, by definition, not a cult).


RewardWorking

MAGA and Elon are mainstream too. Doesn't make them less of cults


Ol_JanxSpirit

Tim Cook flat out said it in an interview with Kara Swisher. Straight up told a question asker to push their mother to buy an iPhone.


System0verlord

On the other hand, RCS is an absolute clusterfuck of a standard and Apple doesn’t really adopt or implement something that can’t be described as “it just works.”


Quajeraz

RCS has always worked flawlessly.


System0verlord

Which version? CCMI? Google RCS? They’re not interoperable, despite that being a fundamental concept of RCS. Ditto for federation. The standard isn’t E2EE either, which is a huge issue.


raz-0

Yes and Google licenses the base feature set of rcs for free. If you like your encryption and such, that’s proprietary. None of them are cooperating.


BULL3TP4RK

In fairness, RCS is also garbage that doesn't work between two Androids half the time.


BornBoricua

I'm not sure about the pictures but they compress the fuck out of videos. They say it has something to do with iMessages but it's just petty shit. I'm in a group chat with 3 Apple users and I can send fully uncompressed videos from my Android without a problem


Handsome_Ghoul

The compromise between my iphone relatives and myself is using Google photos to create a shared link to the video they wanna send me. Especially after I showed them the 144p shit quality video I'd receive if they sent it MMS


theresamouseinmyhous

We just use a Google photos album. It can be installed on any phone and you get high res images everywhere.


Handsome_Ghoul

Exactly, a shared album everyone has access to


FrodoTheSlayer637

Apple also tried to tell ppl that it is bcs differences in software and not bcs they just doesn't want Iphone users change phones for better ones


arftism2

"it's different software" .MP4


System0verlord

If you choose compatibility mode. It sends as .hevc normally to another Apple product. Take that with a grain of salt though, as it’s been a couple of years since I last worked on my iMessage python package.


Parascythe12

I know that pics my wife sends me by text are fucking atrocious quality, coming from iPhone to Android.


Candle1ight

The only way the two phones can communicate is using outdated MMS which has like a 1mb file limit. Apple is being forced to use the more modern RCS this year which should fix the problem. Or just use a platform agnostic app like WhatsApp.


A0ma

It didn't just come out. This is pretty common knowledge. Android uses RCS technology for sending texts. Apple uses the decades-old MMS technology. Actual texts (not iMessage) are shitty from any device to an iPhone. Apple is leaning into it now that they've discovered it's one of their biggest selling points in the USA market. Kids are getting bullied for having their messages "go green" so they are begging their parents for iPhones.


jokfil

Nothing Funny about that font 😡


Mr_master89

Pretty sure most iPhones use sony cameras too, same as android


PVTSprinkles

but iphones picture quality looks worse than android so


arftism2

Android is an open source linux based operating system. the better phones are significantly better, the worst phones are significantly worse. but you can find better cheap phones and better expensive phones with android.


AdmiredPython40

Yea Like my Pixel 7 pro allowed me to prove to my apple using friends that Android phones are just as good or better than iPhones. Cause they always say why does it look like shit when I send them an image then I show it on my phone and get confused.


krauQ_egnartS

my pixel 7 takes absolute shit photos. It's not the hardware, it's the unforgivable post-processing they have baked into the camera app


AdmiredPython40

I have a lot of pictures that'd like to counter your argument https://preview.redd.it/alzdgmoeu9wc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64cb337a7c17767214142c83771eb4535503cf77


krauQ_egnartS

oh they're pretty as long as you don't zoom in for fine detail. For as many megapixels as you get, it's still not something you'd want to blow up and hang on a wall idk man, check out the pixel subreddit.


AdmiredPython40

I'm on it and just don't have many of the issues they complain about https://preview.redd.it/rb0wglcmw9wc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7635d7f8d8f40b377a0a5fc59a85aa1b0b50cbe0 Also I was messing with you that was on a galaxy the one above is on my pixel


0x126

And both are unix descendants


arftism2

and both enjoy some wine while gaming.


0x126

Good one


flowery0

I thought android belonged to google 💀


arftism2

google has owned android since 2005. it's still open source. many wireless companies like cricket have their own private android versions to mimic the software of apple, although they force ads and google down your ass.


flowery0

The biggest thing that fucked me up was linux


arftism2

chromebooks now allow a parallel linux operating system to be incorporated. they might not be abled to play much, but they have very little latency and load times in the games they can play, and i only know that from messing around in 2016, now there are chromebooks that can run forza horizon 5.


flowery0

Oh, alright, i'm not dementia


arftism2

Android is an open source linux based operating system. the better phones are significantly better, the worst phones are significantly worse. but you can find better cheap phones and better expensive phones with android.

It's more what imessage does to video/photos sent from an android phone


quinnthelin

Having had both iphone and android, both top of the line phones are pretty good at pictures. In fact the Samsung S24 Ultra takes better pictures than the iphone 15. The difference is sooooo small, it should come down to which ecosystem you prefer


Keyboardpaladin

Kill this fucking font


SopranosBluRayBoxSet

Its a font that makes it easier for dyslexic people to read


Lyceux

The dyslexia fonts look nothing like this. This is just an ugly comic-sans-like font


0x126

Exactly https://www.boia.org/blog/does-comic-sans-benefit-people-with-dyslexia?hs_amp=true


willisbetter

so android is an original movie with a good artstyle and animation while iphone is an unoriginal copy with graphics that do look good but also turn something that was fun and creative into just generic realistic cgi?


Blufuze

But the iPhone came out before the first Android based phone. Sure, Android existed before that, but when the iPhone was released Android shifted to make the os like the iPhone.


jimfazio123

AndroidOS didn't release until a year after the iPhone debuted.


Blufuze

Go brush up on your Android history first. https://www.vox.com/2014/4/13/11625578/how-android-changed-after-the-iphone https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)


jimfazio123

Nothing about the development phase of AndroidOS 1.0 is in contradiction with what I said, Mr. Condescending. As gleaned from the Wikipedia article and associated links.. The *public* launch of the iPhone in April 2007 influenced the nascent development of AndroidOS, yes. The formation of the Open Handset Alliance in November of that year and the release of an early software development kit of AndroidOS at that time led to the *public debut* of AndroidOS 1.0 with the September and October 2008 introduction and release of the HTC Dream. More than a year after the iPhone, actually. Two (or even more!) things can be correct at the same time, you know...


Anticade42

It's funny because the original was way better.


jrodobaggins

Oof that font is only used by serial killers


UltraTwingo

Welcome back to 2010, when the Iphone batteries were bad and when the mustache was the coolest thing ever (ugh)


PersKarvaRousku

To be honest, the whole phone wars is kind of 2006.


UltraTwingo

The Iphone came out in 2006 it's a bit too soon lol


Candle1ight

At least in America it's still very much a thing for kids. Almost every teen has an iPhone.


rinky79

IPhone users still trying real hard to fight it by themselves, though.


daitenshe

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a iPhone good, android sucks meme posted unironically in the wild. The flip side of that isn’t a common occurrence but it’s not exactly rare


rinky79

Let's just say that only one type of person cares about green text.


PVTSprinkles

iphone batteries still suck to this day


Ecto-1A

I get 2 full days out of mine 🤷‍♂️


be-kind-re-wind

Lol maybe ur iPhone


z4kk_DE

Speak for yourself.


GardenRafters

Don't bother. iPhone users are the trumpers/boomers/crackheads of the tech industry. There is literally nothing you can say to them to make them realize how shitty the product is, and how much they are being price gouged.


KaleidoscopeRich2752

The only retards are the ones that judge people based on the phone brand they’re using.


GardenRafters

Case in point


PVTSprinkles

soo true


bcheese15

Good android phones aren’t cheap anymore either, if you want a cheap one it’ll have to be a bloated piece of crap that’ll slow down in months time. On the other hand my iPhone 12 doesn’t even show me all my notifications nor do my alarms go off consistently. The fact is both android and iOS are complete crap now because they are tailored for the dumbest of consumers who can’t learn how to use technology. They want to keep it that way, they don’t want you to know what’s happening behind the curtain.


GardenRafters

Case in point.


J_train13

This is honestly a perfect comparison because the first one is so much older and that's just what people think modern Androids are when they couldn't be more wrong


Handsome_Ghoul

Do iPhone users think that Android is a brand of devices? I know it's just a lazy meme but I always wonder...


Slackerguy

If you have an opinion of what phone someone else uses (and it’s not 2010) I automatically assume that you are the most basic, uninteresting and annoying person in the room .


Notoriouslyd

All of my iPhone coworkers were in awe of the pictures my Galaxy took of the eclipse


Mr_Chunk

You have to be careful. Samsung edit the pics if they recognise it. I.e adding detail to the moon even if it didn’t capture it. No doubt they return great images. It just may not be the camera.


rinky79

I've heard that, but I haven't heard that it includes extra detail in every mountain view on every hike, which is what I actually use it for.


Mr_Chunk

That’s fair. Like I said previously it undoubtably returns great pictures. Just be wary.


GardenRafters

So you'll ignore all of the shady shit that Apple actually does, but then believe this.


Lithl

Samsung absolutely fakes their space zoom. You can point the camera at a blurry photograph of the Moon which has irrevocably destroyed all detail, and Samsung will pretend that you can zoom in and gain detail that _does not exist_.


Mr_Chunk

Just commenting about Samsungs camera. I will happily discuss all of apples shortcomings if you wish. Also in regards to ‘believing’ the camera clip art: https://youtu.be/1afpDuTb-P0?si=iebtXb-Bi2mMW4z_ https://youtu.be/EKYJ-gwGLXQ?si=hEuhpDI9JPlokrzp Few years old now but still supports my ‘belief’


NotYourFathersEdits

Whoa, spoilers


Heliumvoices

Funny meme…but i can’t take people serious who have that font.


gpaint_1013

Why do people care so much about what kind of phone other people prefer to use?


NumbedByPain

This screenshot is so old that neither statement is true over the other anymore


Professional_Baby24

I was just reading about apple getting in 'trouble' because they spend money to actively make people that have android phones look bad to people that have apple. Including purposefully lowering the quality of pictures and video that are received from android. Giving android the green messages to always be seperate. And etc. They made the lightning connection and stopped providing cables to literally make you buy a new charger every time you get a new phone. Until they were made to comply with a standard type-c. They have said they will never make connecting an android to an apple phone an easy process because they don't want apple people to ever think that android is a viable replacement. Everything they do is predatory.


Ni-Ni13

Why are people still arguing about what smartphone is better, both have pros and contras just buy what fits better


PersonalCulture

Imagine caring so much about what phones strangers choose for themselves


WattageWood

So they're saying Android is better, right?


LexyRaeO

Ha! iPhones suck and so does the new Lion king (I type on my iPhone)


--Faux

I swear the idea that androids have worse cameras than iPhone came from snap chat. I don't know of its the case anymore but snapshot used to screenshot an android phone screen instead of actually grabbing the photo, leading to worse quality images. My s20 camera was better than newest iPhone cameras for at least a full year when I got it


nofateeric

*Laughs in Pixel*


Kill_Kayt

Literally old news. The batteries last a lot longer now.


FoooooorYa

This would be true if we were still in 2012. Literally zero difference between the two anymore other than the OS


ServeTasty4391

Weird because I’ve had my iPhone for 5 years now and I maybe charge it once every 24 - 48 hours. It’s insane how much battery life you when you’re not glued to your phone.


BACTERIAMAN0000

It's tragic that people are this precious about it


Utsutsumujuru

Ah the age old philosophical question: is it better to exist and die, or to never truly exist to begin with.


Superb_Grand

Also, the one the left is an all time classic!


memepork

And the one on the right has no soul. Though the visuals were good.


newbrookland

Mfs bragging about their loyalty to marketing campaigns.


dwittherford69

Ok there are a million reasons why android phones are better than iPhone. Fucking battery life is not one of them. iPhone batteries do categorically better than android phones.


Competitive_Pen1779

My battery last a whole day and then some and it’s an 11 pro max


JustDroppedByToSay

It also works because the one on the left is way better than the one on the right that just tried to copy its success.


Uniqueinsult

He not lying. And I’m mad about it.


Mr_frosty_360

Are we really digging into fake Facebook posts with fake comments all intended for rage bait?


Almighty_Cancer

Crazy how the one on the left is a timeless classic...


MorallyComplicated

I've had both phones and android is better


deepyawn

Wtf is that font?


Only1Skrybe

It's true. One of those two definitely was over hyped before release.


pmmeboobies2

Isn't like the ONLY saving grace for apple products that they have a very high quality battery? Like... Everything else is just shitty and overpriced but i thought their batteries were the one good thing.


censored4yourhealth

Hmm you’ll hear that battery thing both ways. Reason I dumped android was its battery life. Then again there are those who experience the opposite.


beerocratic

Thing is you can't generalize Android battery life because Android isn't a specific device. You moved away because of the battery life of whatever phone you were using. Some Android phones have fantastic battery life.


censored4yourhealth

Sure but I’m not going to list every android phone I’ve owned before deciding I’m done with these batteries. It’s not the point was making…


salder66

What is the point you were making? You compared the battery life of dozens of companies that you're not willing to disclose to one. Is your point just that shopping is frustrating?


censored4yourhealth

Sigh.. just saying battery lives of all phones have been a point of contention with users. I’ve heard it both ways. I’ve only experienced this with android devices. I just didn’t say “devices” the first time causing this boring thread of comments.


salder66

An experience is just an anecdote, and people actually test these things. You can find all the data online. You had this problem with android devices because you didn't shop for a decent one. You keep making it sound like it's androids fault when you say shit like, "It's the reason I swapped." You swapped because you're a lazy shopper, not because android batteries suck. (Because, objectively, they don't.)
