I disagree entirely - the first one I saw was comparing the base model iPhone 16 to a flagship Sony from some years back. This was spot on, and I loled hard. Kudos @Spezi@feddit.org
Maybe the mark is missed for me because no iPhone in existence is marketed as a standard everyday driver. They're always various levels of "luxury" or "pro". More comparable to a Lexus or a Lincoln.
It's also fixed one of the flaws of the original by increasing the time difference. 2005-2024 is a meaningful difference in the market, but 2021-2024 isn't (unless Apple harped on 2024 specifically for some reason).
A more accurate comparison and one that exposes the weaknesses of the original might be a 2024 BMW vs a 2023 Bugatti, a new upper class car vs a recent top class supercar. Fewer of that argument's flaws are due to exaggeration and more are presented in the original, which would be a better exposition of truth to satirize with.
