Does this really matter that much in the US?. Here in the Netherlands about 70% of people had an android phone in 2022. Nobody really cares what you use, as long as you’re happy using it.
I’m not the one paying a grand for a phone that doesn’t support basic SMS functions and reduces the quality of MMS for goodness knows what reason but probably money
Yeah, no one claimed it was intellectual, stop putting words in my mouth.
All grandma knows is when we add cousin Linus all the bubbles turn green and the photos look terrible, so she leaves him out and only emails him later if she remembers.
Also, yeah that’s Apple’s fault. Never said it wasn’t.
But to imply that there is, like, bubble racism or something going on, ie it’s purely over aesthetics, and that people are being “infantile” because of it, is ignorant reductance of such magnitude that you basically burned your own strawman down.
You don’t know what you’re talking about then, since Android has exactly the same feature set as iOS (I mean why wouldn’t it) it’s just that Apple refuses to use a universal standard that’s compatible and as per usual insists on using their own made-up proprietary nonsense, see charging cables, iTunes, the Apple watch, and air tags. So Android phones have to default to SMS to send any messages to iPhones. Between android devices the feature sets are there.
Drop the condescending attitude please. I know all about RCS. I know all about Apple’s ecosystem and what they choose to allow on it. Compliance with standards is still a part of feature set I was referring to. Apple wants to lock people into their hardware and software. This is a known fact. You can like it or not, but there’s still more to the differences between green bubbles and blue ones and if you continue to act like there’s not then you’re the ignorant one in the conversation.
I remember when the iphone first came out. A guy in my country flew to the US to buy one then came back to brag that he’s the first one in the country to have one and he couldn’t even use it here.
iPhone is dominant in the US, but I can’t believe people give enough of a shit about which smartphone someone uses for it to be a dealbreaker in finding a significant other.
Oh they definitely do, especially among young people. They even get bullied over the color of the iMessage text bubble which shows up in different color if the message was sent from a phone other than iPhone.
For a large portion of women they can have almost anyone at the push of a button and so they start rejecting people for the most absurd things.
I imagine the same could be said for the “chads” on dating sites, but I think they care more about the pump and dump than being superficial about anything because they aren’t in it for a relationship.
Then there is me, a literal joke of a human. My phone would probably be the last thing I’d get rejected for as you won’t even get that far before swiping “not ever.” Lol

Apple people are weird, it’s best to avoid them when possible.
*American apple people. No one else on earth gives a shit.
It was only six months ago that I learnt they were getting their knickers in a twist for years about the colour of text messages
I had absolutely no fucking clue that text messages had different colours
How. Fuckin. Infantile is that?!?
If you think it’s the color of the bubble that is the problem, you might be the infant

Laugh at the Apple user
No that is the reason. There is nothing intellectual about the position. It’s just moronic.

Except it’s not the color, it’s the feature set that the colors represent.

It’s called RCS, look it up it’s interesting.

Well then, this might just be a good way to filter out dipshits.
I blame dating sites to be honest.

I really hope you know better to take shitty Twitter memes at face value. This isn’t a thing.
I’m a Finn, not sure what the apple % is here, but I’ve never met anyone who isn’t either a child or atleast slightly retarded that owns one.
About 70% of men are considered below average by women
