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 😔
You can’t honestly say the windows phones out performed androids come now
at the time, they honestly did.
Scary stuff 😂
They felt smoother, maybe that’s what they meant, but for all the good that did, I started hating Microsoft even more because of how they treated the users, instead of giving updates requiring you to get a new phone for a new OS
They did, I still have a Lumia 950 as a backup phone, and it runs smooth as butter.
They absolutely ran better. No hiccups, super smooth experience. Even the Huawei P30 I use doesn’t attain that level of smoothness
