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?
Deal-breaker in friendship? Hell no. If a friendship is defined by what phone you are using, the world is close to ending I think. Deal-breaker for me personally (as in: I need to use Android device): yes. I’m not making the switch to something Google.
Won’t use Google.
But for some reason would use Apple.
Shaking my head
I have the impression they are a bit more privacy minded. Expensive, but privacy minded. I don’t feel like the product when using Apple stuff. I feel like the product when using Google stuff.
I guess that will just be an impression, but an important impression for my mind…
Birds don’t feel like pets when they are held in big fancy cages. But you know, different strokes…
But what is the alternative? That is equally well as a (recent) iPhone or a (recent, good spec) Android? Afaik it is picking bad or worse, no?
