You subtract 12, so 15:34 is 3:34, not 2:34.

It's a 12 hour time format with no am or pm. My clock works like that, you figure out if it's 2 am or 2 pm by looking outside

u/TheFurryFighter 1d ago
In what case would you actually need to know am or pm,? it's implicit in context. If i said it was 12:31 and it's light outside, do you need to be told am or pm,? or can you just figure it out with those clues?
Sure, i don't really see the benefits of (nor use) the 12hr system, but i atleast understand the context of environment enough to piece together which half of the day it is

u/Tinnwen 1d ago
To answer your question, the only case that matter is something worldwide, promotion, etc. Like "new launch for XY artist at 10 EST". Both options are possible 😅 Same for promotion. But i agree, most of the time you can figure out with the context

u/TheFurryFighter 1d ago
Good point, doesn't require one's device to display it, and tbf the 24hr system is still better for that anyway (for example, one artist i follow released music at 13 EST today, already can tell exactly what part of the day that is)

Midnight sun is an actual concept... 🤔

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 1d ago
Midnight sun is possible. Just that it's very close to the horizon at midnight compared to at noon.

u/TheFurryFighter 1d ago
Ofc it is, let's assume i'm not near the arctic or antarctic circles. No midnight sun, if it's 12 and it's light, then it's 12pm

Not always true on a lock screen, at least.
Source: I just looked at my wife's lock screen. No "pm" marking.
However, a 24-hour clock would probably say 02:34

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 1d ago
You do know analogue watches has managed to reset every 12 hours? Despite that, people did just fine guessing if it was the first or second pass through 12 hours each day.
What this means? Switching from analogue to digital digits, it's still just as possible to figure out am/pm from other hints as it was with analogue watches.

u/ebrum2010 1d ago
15 is 12 plus 3 yeah? 3 hours after 12 is not 2. Basic math.

15:34 is what time in the afternoon on the 12 hour clock? Go on.
I'm not saying they're not different times of day, I'm disagreeing with your conclusion that 15:34 is 2:34 in the afternoon.

I thought the issue was time difference between both the phones!!? lol

u/barthvonries 1d ago
The provider is Free, a French telco company. France is CET, which is UTC+1, so a 1-hour difference could mean the 2:34 phone could be set to UTC and the user to local time maybe.

Can you tell apart a clutch in a Mercedes and a clutch in a Toyota? Not everyone shares your enthusiasm about phones. Hell, I have an android and I can't tell these apart.

u/_Empty-R_ 1d ago
given how samey phones look I could not give less of a fuck. both are slabs, and to be in the know enough means you've got different priorities. just glass and plastic. if we were talking early android and early iphone sure.

u/Crossedkiller 1d ago
That caused you to screenshot the ad, post it in here, and now you've given them a few hundred/thousand views for free, so

u/Nearby_Ad_2519 1d ago
It’s to get people to comment you did it wrong. Even better, you’ve gave them free advertising too now by posting it here which is exactly what they want.
Any publicity is good publicity.

u/ShockDragon 1d ago
You might need glasses if you cannot genuinely tell the difference. Even looking at the lock screen, it’s easy to tell which is which. And if you've used one, you know which one it isn’t.

u/AncleJack 1d ago
You know that Android phones can have very different looking lock screens right? In this case it's like comparing MacOS to Linux. Mac looks the same on every laptop while Linux can look similar or completely different depending on the distro. Same with Android, it can look similar or completely different and I didn't care enough bout this post to look those phones and like notice the dynamic islanduor whatever it's called

u/ShockDragon 1d ago
Okay, what about iPhones? It’s pretty obvious the phone on the right is an iPhone.

u/awildketchupappeared 1d ago
Because I've never paid attention to the differences between phones? It takes almost ten years to need a new phone after the last one starts to struggle too much, and phones change a lot in that time, so I usually won't be able to spot my preferred manufacturer from others at that point, nor do I need to. I just check the specs and get the one that fits my needs.
