The fictional device shown is thick and boxy with a tiny camera and an awkward-looking selfie camera cutout. It\u2019s not reflective of really any real Android phones, besides maybe those wildly rugged ones \u2013 but does anyone actually buy those?<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Privacy on iPhone: Safari helps block data trackers\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Spb-ka7xrR8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not like this is the first time Apple has depicted Android phones like this \u2013 it\u2019s a rather common occurence really. But this is a particularly egregious example. It\u2019s not just a case of using an outdated Android phone to give Android phones a bad look, it\u2019s a case of using a device that simply isn\u2019t reflective of the real world at all. <\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you think of the ad?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-more-on-android\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">More on Android:<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0Twitter\/X,\u00a0Threads, Bluesky, and\u00a0Instagram<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
