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?

    I’m very confused about the ‘better counsel’ part. Do you actually believe that iphones are a better phone?

      Conspicuous consumerism. Having an iPhone makes people think they have status.

      Yeah, what are they actually getting that’s arguably better to justify switching your entire ecosystem over for? Android and iOS have close enough feature parity that it’s really up to use choice at this point
