“Such is the scale of advancements we’ve made, that 2024 Tim Cook would walk up to 2023 Tim Cook holding a bit ‘L’ on his forehead before giving him an atomic wedgie for having such a crappy iphone.

I like the joke but this is so clumsily written.

Agreed! Might be better phrased as,

"We've made so many advancements that 2023 Tim Cook would look at 2024 Tim Cook utterly horrified at his own ineptitude, and look at a mirror while holding up a big L on his forehead before giving himself an atomic wedgie.

I'm not a fan of the whole "atomic wedgie" bit either, feels dated
