But why the obsession with iMessage and apple product?!? We don’t care about the colour of the bubble!!!
Apparently American teenagers do and will straight up bully you if you have an Android.
If only it was just teenagers, physically grown ass men and women do this too. Have had some I thought were good friends cut me off from talking to them "because I didn't have an iPhone".
IMO people who are that petty aren't worth having in your life.
That's what I figured too.
Placating them doesn't look like a great solution to me.
yep
Sounds like a pretty great litmus test of a person's character
iMessage group chats.
Network effect. Gradually over time my whole extended family wound up with iphones for one reason or another, and Android phones would consistently break our group threads. The last few holdouts (not ideologically, they just didn't need new phones) wound up switching to Apple afterwards to make everything smoother for the rest of us.
