Why it worked

The video leverages a common misconception about calculator logic and presents a surprising outcome, creating a 'mind blown' moment for viewers. The comparison between two popular platforms (iPhone and Android) also broadens its appeal.

Summary

The video compares the calculation results of a mathematical expression on an iPhone calculator versus an Android calculator. Initially, both devices yield the same result, but upon closer inspection, the order of operations is revealed to be the key difference, leading to different outcomes.

Structure

1Introduce the math problem and the two calculators (iPhone vs. Android).
2Perform the calculation on the iPhone, showing the result.
3Perform the same calculation on the Android, showing the result.
4Observe that both results are initially the same.
5Reveal the difference in calculation order between the two devices.
6Conclude that the order of operations causes the different results.

Product placement

iPhone calculator: ACTS - it performs calculations and displays results, changing what happens in the video. Apple: APPEARS - it is the brand of the phone, but removing it would not change what happens in the video. Android calculator: ACTS - it performs calculations and displays results, changing what happens in the video. Samsung: APPEARS - it is the brand of the phone, but removing it would not change what happens in the video.

What happens if you try to do the same math problem but on Android calculator versus the iOS calculator? There's going super viral right now showing that if you literally do this, you'll get different answers. If you do this, you'll get different answers than if you do it on an iPhone versus an Android phone. So I'm gonna try it real quick and see if this actually gets you different answers here. Alright, here we go. Okay, I got my iPhone calculator right here. 300 plus 100 times two. Alright, here we go. Okay. We get 500. Alright, alright. Now we're doing the exact same thing on my Android phone. Here we go. 300 plus 100 times two. Looks like we're getting 500 for both of them. I'm not sure what's going on here. Okay. So if we take a better look at this image right here, we have one main difference. It's 300 and 300 are different order. So let's change the order and see if that changes anything. 100 plus 300 times two. That gets you 700. But the iPhone do the same thing? Question. Okay, 100 plus 300 times two. It gets you the same number. Guys, what the freak? So they just changed the order. Literally it's not that deep. Holy crap. This is my time. Holy crap. This is my time.
