No, it’s a made up thing to drive engagement from the tribalism techies get over their choice of billion dollar brands. What a bunch of bullshit.
PS. I’m sure there are girls that care about shallow shit like that but they don’t care about you if they do, regardless of what phone you use. If you had a $20,000 Android phone or a Hermes Apple Watch, that’s what they’d care about.
I suspect it may be a geniuine thing amongst teens, though… mocking and bullying people with green chat bubbles in the group text is apparently a Real Thing amongst middle- and high-school kids right now, so I could 100% see a teen girl blowing off a date over having the wrong sorts of status symbol devices.
Kids mock and bully each other because they’re kids and green bubbles actually mean something - the messaging experience (images, links, tapbacks) is degraded in group texts.
No one who is of dating age cares about that stuff if they’re interested in the person.
Is this an American thing? I’ve never heard of this (in Canada).

Pretty sure it’s a stupid people thing.
