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?

    Obviously I’m not an Apple expert but I think someone also mentioned it takes better pictures? I can’t disagree because I’m awful at taking pictures anyway so it wouldn’t make a difference.

      Picture quality is a constant arms race and both sides have been better than the other at some point. It also varies from phone to phone, my fold3 takes much better pictures than my sisters iPhone SE2, but is comparible with my dad’s 13 max. The main reason that people think iPhones take better pictures though is because when you text a picture from an android to an iPhone it ends up horribly compressed, because apple doesn’t support RCS, but a picture sent from iphone to iphone or android to android will look a lot better
