They also have been using the latest phones since 2011. I cannot stress enough that Kim Jong Il was entirely incompetent and happy to live the life of an aloof plutocrat that spent his energy making movies, but Kim Jong Un was immediately underestimated by the west because he purposely gained weight in a political move to look more like his popular grandfather while he fed his disloyal uncles to dogs. You can’t treat the regimes the same, but many people are happy to be like “oh it’s just another Kim family bafoon.”
