I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.

In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.

Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?

    > Using Android has absolutely cost me several potential friendships

    Why would you want to have people like that as friends?

    If anything, I use that as information. If trash doesn’t take itself out, you have information to do it yourself.

      This is literally 80% of people in my high school and 60% of people at my university though. It’s insane how pervasive Apple has become.

      90-95% of people at my high school had iPhones, and 85-90% do at my university. 50% of people have AirPods for both cases. And these numbers are only trending upwards. Apple is unstoppable.
