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 😔
There are still smart kids out there. They are probably not wrapped up in this Android/iPhone war.
Be careful not to group people together based on one criteria and judge them based on another.
@waz no it was just a critical comment and i didn’t even see the initial comment so ofcourse i was generalising.
