apple-to-orange comparison

The comparison between two (or more) things that cannot be compared apple-to-apple, e.g. comparing the demand of being a kindergartener with that of being a college student — even though they both "only" go to school 3 hours per day
Trying to compare the stress levels of a kindergartener to a college student is just an apple-to-orange comparison—sure, they both "only" go to school 3 hours per day, but the responsibilities are worlds apart!

Apple Snobs

Apple Snobs: Primarily associated with Generation Z, these individuals flaunt the latest, most expensive Apple phones as a social status symbol. While the term mainly targets younger generations, it can also apply to older ones like Generation X. Often, these Apple Snobs live at home, have no driving license, rarely travel abroad for holidays, and have limited financial means. They often look down on those who are less materialistic, who are content with simple, budget-friendly phones, even if those individuals have more wealth than them, like nice cars or homes.
Lee: Frank, remember that young lad at work who was all high and mighty last week? Walking around with his new Apple phone like he was the king of the world?"

apple-to-orange

Being the antonym for "apple-to-apple", this term refers to the comparison between two things (or more) that simply don't compare! For example, you were born on Sunday, February 22nd 2004. You aren't going to have ever celebrated your birthday during Ramadan until Sunday, February 22nd 2026. But still, you have always compared with the rapper Quavo who have once celebrated his birthday during Ramadan. And the last time this rapper celebrated his birthday was on Tuesday, April 2nd 2024.
Trying to compare my birthday on February 22nd 2004, with Quavo's Ramadan birthday is just an apple-to-orange situation; they’re worlds apart!
