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?
This is just weird to me as someone who has used Apple products for 17 years now. I literally couldn’t care less what someone uses and if they’re shallow enough to judge me based on what phone I use I wouldn’t want to know them.
As a grown adult I’m maybe only accept this attitude from a young high-school student or preteen.
Maybe it’s just that I’ve met too many i-users who are so full of themselves in this really annoying way, and often using owning/not owning Apple against other people.
Or when you look at all the obnoxious duckface / beach ball butt / Popeye biceps mirror selfie pics - 999/1000 are with iphones.
After a while… One just begins to be on guard.
Guess I’m… Phone-ist? Like that, but man I still think it’s more about me hating those kinds of people. Sorry that you get to be associated with them.
(Now to be frank, Apple isn’t helping it either for promoting the elitism. Remember the “I’m a Mac” ads? They want people to believe they’re better if they use Apple. And the bubble color is well documented too.)
That’s fair, I haven’t really met anyone like that so it’s understandable how obnoxious that is. I just enjoy using the products for my own reasons, has nothing to do with any kind of “flex” so presenting it in that way would would be off putting.
