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.

    Are there supposed to be commas between those words? OR is Car clothes hair dog and job accent speech everything some new hip cool thing I don’t know about?

      It’s fun because “clothes” and “accent” can be verbs, and given their position in the clause it almost looks like they should be but then you realize it makes no sense.

      Not sure if troll or just my point being made exactly
