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 had to come to the comments to find out wtf the bubble thing was!
I still get a lot of SMSs from clients, but there’s no way of telling what kind of phone they came from.
Also, where I am, Apple products have kind of an “old person’s phone” stigma cos they’re so simplified
That’s interesting. I personally have an iPhone and am old, so it checks out.
I was brought into the Apple ecosystem with the iPod, then the Mac, and getting an iPhone was a natural extension of those experiences. I got nothing against other systems like Windows or Android phones, nor I feel better than anybody because of my goddamn phone’s brand. Apple became fashionable or luxurious way after I became a regular user of their products.
