Interesting figure that comes out of the article: 87% of US teens prefer iPhones. Also the explanations given aren’t quite surprising, I guess it’s mostly because of iMessage. Teens will feel like outcasts if they get an Android phone while their friends still use iMessage because of the green bubbles.
It’s actually hilarious how we allowed consumerism to take us this far and that we have now peer pressure over smartphones.
“You’re telling me in 2023, you still have a ’Droid? […] You gotta be at least 50 years old.”
ouch 😔
Even worse, my iOS-using teenagers know nothing about online privacy at all! Despite me paying for a family account with Bitwarden, they still use the same bloody password on all their accounts.
Waiting for the next credential stuffing attack to breach their Shit Tok account. Maybe then they’ll listen to me…
Big problem with modern software is where you aggrogate diffrent ‘views’ of data without making it clear what your looking at, mom gets confused where her documents run off to when they disappear from ‘recently used’. Dont know how it works and it controls you.
Yup. They dont bat an eye when posting so much info about them on Social Media and scream privacy.
