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?

    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.
