The phone the screenshot is taken from is an iPhone, while the phone being viewed is an Android. Another iPhone screenshot was the joke in [[1815: Flag]], where a 35% battery charge is of some minor concern to the intended recipients of the flag. | The phone the screenshot is taken from is an iPhone, while the phone being viewed is an Android.

| − | The title text suggests that Randall has plugged in his phone to quell the anxiety induced by the 6% charge in the screenshot, mistaking it for the actual battery indicator of his own phone. This measure is obviously unsuccessful, as charging his own phone does nothing to change the charge of the phone in the picture. A similar phenomenon is when a screenshot is viewed and the viewer attempts to use the controls (e.g. buttons) in the image. | + | The title text suggests that Randall has plugged in his phone to quell the anxiety induced by the 6% charge in the screenshot, mistaking it for the actual battery indicator of his own phone.

Randall's fear of losing power to his phone was later explored in [[1802: Phone]], where he brings an extra battery. |

An alternative interpretation for the title text is that the screenshot was posted as part of a thread asking why their phone isn't charging. This would be ironic, as Randall's focusing on the battery level means his eyes are being drawn to the very problem being spoken about, yet he is too distracted by it to read that this is the problem! | An alternative interpretation for the title text is that the screenshot was posted as part of a thread asking why their phone isn't charging.
