Initially I thought that too, however the top picture has been stretched and is larger than the 2nd photo. Look at the White icons in the status bar of that first photo, even those are stretched and blurrier. Until the photos are scaled the same without any tampering, chalk up the idea that the rental versions are better to just speculation. Higher Bit rates don't always translate to visible differences.
