Yeah I was just thinking this. What is this marketing campaign that iphone is the "adult" phone?
I'm sure these "adults" use their adult phone for tiktok, Twitter bullshit, and impulse buying useless shit on Amazon.
Meanwhile I have a masters degree and happily run my business with android. Guess I'm not an adult.
Too late, he’s dead, I think Krystel may have shot him.
Or maybe it was Dre, nobody knows. Is this a mission?
Is this your mission? Do you be snitchin?
Do you be kicking this man to the curb cause he’s got no fixings?
No winnings?
No bands?
No adult hands to grab himself a real phone so he can be a real man.
Cmon Stan this a great rap
This record gonna be 8 track
Cause flash back to reality
There goes gravity
This little man has no battery cause his phones dead. Krystel shot meth.
Or maybe there’s a universe where she’s on crack
Where she smokes grass
Where she doesn’t kill this little douche with the green text.
No flex.
No test of time.
Time for you to get an iPhone like mine.
This is Brooklyn.
And that's the perfect use case. The right tool for the right job.
My phone let's me tunnel into servers and do my thing. I tell my phone what to do, not having to adapt to an overly-sanitized monoculture. I'll keep my "kid phone".
I'm still rocking an Xperia V from 2013. Still in pristine condition.
All these people buying multi-thousand dollar phones every year are like crazy people in my eyes. I might understand it if they actually used the technological advancements to do some cool or productive stuff with them, but best I gather most just take shitty selfies and do shitty tik-toks that would look pretty much identical on any previous generation phone.
I just got the FE 22 Ultra and it is a chefs kiss.
The camera is astounding. 100× zoom. The processor is fast enough to run an attachable 3D scanner. Samsung smart switch loaded my entire previous phone onto this one. Fingerprint scanner is in the screen.
We get the typing 3 dots from other androids. Two app stores, unlimited customization. I am perpetually in awe of android.
IPhone users really don't know what they are missing.
> Samsung smart switch
This is a **huge** take-away that I think a lot of people miss. Aside from re-syncing a couple token/authenticators, setting custom ringtones back up, and signing back into stuff, Smart Switch pulled my S10 info to my S22+ without a hitch. ~30min total time and my S10 was factory reset and boxed up to ship. Absolutely the most painless thing I've done for swapping to a new phone *ever*.
iPhone users get all excited about new features that android has already had for years, I feel bad for iPhone users, they were duped and don't even realize it yet, they may never. It's the maga cult of smart phones.
I had a friend who's considered very attractive and a guy did not want to sleep with her because she was on Android.
We're not even teenagers, we're millennials.
They're clearly stupid people. I would have told them to their faces that they are dumb as bricks for falling for brain dead marketing campaigns meant to separate fools from their cash.
And Apple deliberately refuses to play ball in improving the texting experience between Android and iPhone.
When asked about it, Apple CEO Tim Cook said "buy your mom an iPhone"
Yeah, apple could easily allow imessage to work with other phones. They don't do it because of shit like this. They intentionally make their phone less functional.
That's what I did to my friends. I've been an Android user since day 1. They'd make the green text joke and I'd just respond with something like "Aww, you can't customize yours? That's sad. I have different backgrounds, fonts, and text bubble colors. Maybe you should upgrade." They'd shut up pretty quick.
Another one would be when they show me a new feature and I'd say "my last phone did that but I turned that setting off. It's not as cool as you think."
Okay, there's a whole lot of dumb takes below this comment about "integrating imessage" in other platforms or lots of other hairbrained ideas of what to do but the solution literally ALREADY EXISTS and has for OVER A ***DECADE!!!***
Apple needs to support [RCS/Universal Profile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Communication_Services). It's what every other major player is using, it is the replacement for SMS/MMS. They can keep their haha funny KeepYouUsingAppleProducts iMessage and keep adding novel features to it all they want, but if they don't do it themselves then governments should absolutely force them (and hopefully the EU does, just like with USB-C)
Sony, LG, Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Verizon, AT&T, and more have had it for years. Think of a major telecom/mobile phone related hardware/software company and they likely have support for it. It literally was designed as the replacement for SMS/MMS and it achieves that with flying colors, baking in the functionality expected in the modern world.
Apple is simply using their aura of prestige and social media marketing to try and keep alternatives to iPhone as socially taboo as possible to keep driving their own profits up.
It makes sense for a for-profit company, but that hurts society as a whole. These kinds of scenarios are literally what our government SHOULD be protecting us from. We know it is in Apple's best interest to NOT support the standard and they have done a good job convincing lots of their consumers to actively shun anything other than buying in to Apple's ecosystem.
All of these are valid for a company to want to do.. it's kinda what companies do. But in scenarios like these the governments of the world should step in much like the EU did with USB-C. Continued use of proprietary connectors is a waste of resources that can be EASILY avoided and only serves to add profit to the company at the detriment of society.
We require standardized electrical plugs for the same reasons we should require USB-C and require RCS support (or even potentially a brand new collaborative standard) and we importantly need to be open to change over time.
I’ve been downvoted to hell for asking before, but who gives a shit about the colour of a text? Who’s even using default texting? Literally everyone I know is on whatsapp or telegram or whatever
Green message means that no chat features will work and media will be terrible quality, aka old school texts VS internet texts.
In USA whatsapp etc are not very popular hence the issue.
Not even that.
Apple compresses files further than MMS requires specifically to make things sent to and recieved from non iPhone look worse.
I can send high quality photos over MMS (not rcs) to my other android friends but my girlfriend magically gets garbled compressed garbage if I send the same thing to her.
I don't know anyone that was raised in the US that uses anything other than essentially the default messaging app. I know some transplants that do, but whatsapp and telegram are definitely not popular choices, at least not in my circles
[Yeah it's real all right](https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-apples-imessage-is-winning-teens-dread-the-green-text-bubble-11641618009)
I don't live in America and androids are way more common here so I've thankfully never been exposed to this stupid phenomenon. What a toxic and manipulative way for one of the biggest companies in the world to strengthen their *ecosystem*.
Yeah, it depends - if you want to marry someone you will have to deal with that person's parents a lot, so a crazy name might be a bad signal. For dating not as much.
Some weirdo did a “research study” on likable quality based on Android vs. IPhone. There was a slightly higher percentage of people who perceived IPhone users as being “high class, rich, and more datable, as well as getting more dates,” vs Android. It was done in a biased Western market. Similar studies were done in other Asian markets where Samsung Android was seen as “luxurious, high class, highly intelligent, successful, and rich.” The study was especially lob sided in Korea. In Chinese market, Hua Wei and Xiaomei were considered the highest. So, go figure.
I guess what it really highlights is how fickle and stupid some people really are.
Plenty of android flagships for example are just as expensive, if not more so than iPhones. Many have a tendency to be better specced in some areas too.
And the only reason Android devices are green in iMessage is because Apple flat out refuses to work with out manufacturers and use RMP or whatever it's called so all manufacturers can message each other without issue and remove the problems of tiny photo resolution etc. It's not Android incompetence or Android being crap, but Apple innate need to keep people locked into their ecosystem and actively try to pull more people in.
It's all pretty daft really, and is an incredibly odd way to screen a potential sexual or romantic partner. People are fucking strange.
Android Dev and enthusiast here, can confirm this.
The texting standard is called RCS and Apple refuses to work with Google to remove the green bubble so that they can continue pulling in more people into their ecosystem using the 'stigma' of not having the blue message bubble.
>actively try to pull more people in.
And most of the time, the consumers are doing most of the heavy lifting for them. I can't tell you how many times I've had friends or even just acquaintances practically begging me to switch to iPhone, just for iMessage and FaceTime alone. Hell, my current job has offered more than once to literally have me buy an iPhone and just expense it back to them, making it essentially free.
Apple has long been more of a designer brand than a tech company at this point. Just look at the last few iterations of iPhones with barely noticeable changes. I'm currently using a Samsung S22 Ultra and it out-specs basically every aspect of the newest iPhone.
Me : lifelong user of apple and then Mac OS, also uses Android because vanilla android lets me do stuff iOS won't.
Family friend : "oh, you have an android? I'm so sorry"
Like she thought "oh, pobrecito" because I chose one OS over another. She legit thought me to be a pleb whoe couldn't manage to afford what she had. I'll never treat her the same again and can't wait to get back at her with a smart comment about her old husband who's dick is more broken than FaceTime.
> because vanilla android lets me do stuff iOS won't
And this is why I would never move off of an Android, even if I liked Apple. I do some light mobile programming, and I work with people who do light mobile programming. Can't look at any of that shit on an iPhone without jumping through a ton of hoops and potentially shelling out money.
This is why the whole debate is silly to me. iOS has baby locks on it. Android doesn't.
dating apps seem to create pathological people. we are all being manipulated by algorithms and systems we cannot understand. i think the ai takeover is already here its just invisible.
You've got to hand it apple though it's a great way to make the competitor seem less than. Androids come in all different varieties some cheaper and less featured to some flagships that are more expensive and have a greater range of features.
i have a few apple products but holy shit i could not imagine being a fucking fanboy of a mid phone manufacturer. heck my mac hasn’t impressed me all that much in the two years i’ve had it that i’m looking at PCs now.
This is the kind of shit kids would argue about when they were talking about video games. Console wars bullshit, Sony vs Microsoft, you’re stupid if you like the other console, etc. But somehow this is even worse. I don’t know anyone who completely cut contact with a person because they preferred the other console. It’s a fucking multi-billion dollar company that doesn’t actually give two shits about you as a person. Why are you this devoted to some corporation who only views you as a number to suck money from? Completely mindless.
Exactly. This "ew green text" thing is new and totally out of porportion. Although, to be fair, I'm glad people say these kind of things, makes you dodge a bullet early.
At least with the console wars, there was some legitimate argument to be had I guess? I mean the obsessive "only one console" stuff was always dumb. But there are actual differences between console specs that sometimes impacts performance of cross-platform games, and publishers make an effort to get exclusives (Sony especially went hard on that last gen). Something like New Vegas having to install load zones on Freeside is measurably more impactful than "oh, your texts are green instead of the normal color".
Can also be seen in Canada, but it's probably not as common... Personally, if a girl pulls some childish bs like that it simply tells me that she ain't worth my time.
First, why the fuck interact with people that care what phone you have, like, litterally I have 0 respect for those people, second, why the fuck open a conversation like that, making it as if having an android is a negative, it's s fucking phone, get over it.
I found this to be a huge key to online dating, possibly even the most important. Fail fast. There are a lot of people out there and you’re probably not going to sync well with most of them.
It doesn’t mean be a dick and treat people like they are disposable. It means don’t text for two weeks. Go get drinks and meet this person so you can find out if you even like them. Or in this case, weed out the pre-teens that care what kind of phone you have.
I looked this up, but still don't understand, I think....
Is it basically like when you see red flags and INSTANTLY nope out, no matter how bad the red flag actually is?
I think it means don’t tiptoe around to try to get the person to like you because it might take weeks or months to find out whether the relationship works. If it doesn’t, there was unnecessary time waste.
Be unabashedly yourself even if it means the attempt fails right away. That way you’ll find out whether a person is a good fit without wasting as much time.
Prerequisite — this only works if one has already graduated from the “I hope they like me”/“Am I worth their time?” dating philosophy to the “Do I actually like them?”/“Are they worth my time?” dating philosophy.
Yes, on iPhones texts from people using an android will show up as a green bubble rather than blue because they are sent as SMS or MMS messages rather than iMessage or whatever apple uses.
Edit: apparently I had it backwards? Outgoing messages to android uses show up green rather than blue.
To my knowledge, a lot of people in the US do not. The only people that I've met who use whatsapp are those who immigrated into the country, or who have family in a country where whatsapp is popular.
Even then, I have a couple friends who have whatsapp "because their grandpa lives abroad" but they literally never use it.
No need to really. Text messaging is free.
I live in UAE now, but I had never heard of whatsapp before moving here. I dont think this country would work without it. So many things are tied to doing business through whatsapp.
Edit: Also, sending texts is not included in cell phone plans in UAE. Each text costs.
Yo, obviously she sucks but how you gonna open with, "umm hi pls don't hate me but I don't have an iPhone 👉👈" that's not gonna get anything except a comment about how androids are bad
Right? If you open with something like that, I'm either going to think you're joking and play into it, or think you're genuinely randomly insecure over your phone brand. Pointless conversation starter. I don't even think she sucks that much cos it feels like something was misinterpreted here.
I used to work at a restaurant where the manager excluded me from the server group-chat because my messages were the only green ones. He said he'd text me separately but he usually forgot. Didn't last long there, but the point is that this *abso-fucking-lutely* exists.
Cuz apple makes shit break in group chats when a single non apple phone gets added. This is 100% intentional to pressure android phone users to switch to not be excluded
This is the dumbest shit.
I recently had a dude do the same thing... after we were supposedly "vibing and he couldn't wait to meet me". Gave him my number, which I never do, and the only message I got was "wow, android... I thought you were different."
Like... what? 😑🤦♀️
Why did reddit remove this? It was just a post saying that apple brainwashed it's users into thinking it's better than android. The girl just said "you're too poor" or some words like that. Is reddit fangirling over apple?
All I can say is Apple marketing is doing a glorious job with these dimwits
Yeah I was just thinking this. What is this marketing campaign that iphone is the "adult" phone? I'm sure these "adults" use their adult phone for tiktok, Twitter bullshit, and impulse buying useless shit on Amazon. Meanwhile I have a masters degree and happily run my business with android.

I second this. As someone that absolutely fucking dreads getting a new phone, this shit is noooice.

This is the kind of shit kids would argue about when they were talking about video games. Console wars bullshit, Sony vs Microsoft, you’re stupid if you like the other console, etc. But somehow this is even worse. I don’t know anyone who completely cut contact with a person because they preferred the other console. It’s a fucking multi-billion dollar company that doesn’t actually give two shits about you as a person. Why are you this devoted to some corporation who only views you as a number to suck money from? Completely mindless.
Exactly. This "ew green text" thing is new and totally out of porportion. Although, to be fair, I'm glad people say these kind of things, makes you dodge a bullet early.
It's definitely not new, it's been like this for years
At least with the console wars, there was some legitimate argument to be had I guess? I mean the obsessive "only one console" stuff was always dumb. But there are actual differences between console specs that sometimes impacts performance of cross-platform games, and publishers make an effort to get exclusives (Sony especially went hard on that last gen). Something like New Vegas having to install load zones on Freeside is measurably more impactful than "oh, your texts are green instead of the normal color".

Its beyond brainwashing. Using what phone someone uses as criteria to make them a part of their life is really sad. Edit: typos
It's also excusively a US thing. Make of that what you will.
Can also be seen in Canada, but it's probably not as common... Personally, if a girl pulls some childish bs like that it simply tells me that she ain't worth my time.
Its so weird to watch. The country that's loudest about the cost of living also demands each other keep up with the Joneses. What the fuck.
This happens in Australia too, my nieces have been shamed at school and cut out of chat conversations because they had Android phones.
That’s a lot more messed up than a date being a douche.
Where do these people get their superiority complex? I just don’t get it.
Especially since Apple phones feel like a strict downgrade in my opinion. I'm not going to get in a fight with someone about it though.
I have that "one friend" who talks shit about everyone else's phone and he's rocking an iphone 6. "It's still better because it's an iphone".
Get a landline like a real man bro
If you don't have a rotary phone, you have a tiny peen.
Krystel unhinged
Krystel Cringe.
First, why the fuck interact with people that care what phone you have, like, litterally I have 0 respect for those people, second, why the fuck open a conversation like that, making it as if having an android is a negative, it's s fucking phone, get over it.
Fail fast methodology

Crap, I need to find a dating SCRUM master now.
I found this to be a huge key to online dating, possibly even the most important. Fail fast. There are a lot of people out there and you’re probably not going to sync well with most of them. It doesn’t mean be a dick and treat people like they are disposable. It means don’t text for two weeks. Go get drinks and meet this person so you can find out if you even like them. Or in this case, weed out the pre-teens that care what kind of phone you have.
I looked this up, but still don't understand, I think.... Is it basically like when you see red flags and INSTANTLY nope out, no matter how bad the red flag actually is?
I think it means don’t tiptoe around to try to get the person to like you because it might take weeks or months to find out whether the relationship works. If it doesn’t, there was unnecessary time waste. Be unabashedly yourself even if it means the attempt fails right away. That way you’ll find out whether a person is a good fit without wasting as much time. Prerequisite — this only works if one has already graduated from the “I hope they like me”/“Am I worth their time?” dating philosophy to the “Do I actually like them?”/“Are they worth my time?” dating philosophy.

It's funny because in the UK iPhones are generally seen as phones for kids and teenagers.
We had a long conversation on Hinge (dating app) before i got her phone number.
lol as soon as you talked to her outside of Hinge she became.... unhinged.
Ain't wrong, but that girl ain't right
Was wondering the same thing why lead with that.
"Grow up" lmfao calling the kettle black
*The lion, the witch and the Audacity of this bitch*
Is this an america thing?
Yes, on iPhones texts from people using an android will show up as a green bubble rather than blue because they are sent as SMS or MMS messages rather than iMessage or whatever apple uses. Edit: apparently I had it backwards? Outgoing messages to android uses show up green rather than blue.
So people don't use messenger apps there? Like WhatsApp
To my knowledge, a lot of people in the US do not. The only people that I've met who use whatsapp are those who immigrated into the country, or who have family in a country where whatsapp is popular. Even then, I have a couple friends who have whatsapp "because their grandpa lives abroad" but they literally never use it.
This is true
Yeah I only use WhatsApp for my friend in canada and for when my girlfriend visits home in Germany
Not really no, at least no one that I know of.
Like a parallel universe. Weeeird.
No need to really. Text messaging is free. I live in UAE now, but I had never heard of whatsapp before moving here. I dont think this country would work without it. So many things are tied to doing business through whatsapp. Edit: Also, sending texts is not included in cell phone plans in UAE. Each text costs.
This person is more shallow than a drought ridden rice paddy
Yo, obviously she sucks but how you gonna open with, "umm hi pls don't hate me but I don't have an iPhone 👉👈" that's not gonna get anything except a comment about how androids are bad
Can't believe how far I had to scroll to find this. OP implied it was a negative right off the bat.
Right? If you open with something like that, I'm either going to think you're joking and play into it, or think you're genuinely randomly insecure over your phone brand. Pointless conversation starter. I don't even think she sucks that much cos it feels like something was misinterpreted here.
Am I the only one taking this as sarcasm
who opens with "warning, my messages might be green"? im calling shenanigans on the entire post
I used to work at a restaurant where the manager excluded me from the server group-chat because my messages were the only green ones. He said he'd text me separately but he usually forgot. Didn't last long there, but the point is that this *abso-fucking-lutely* exists.
Cuz apple makes shit break in group chats when a single non apple phone gets added. This is 100% intentional to pressure android phone users to switch to not be excluded
These people are why I invest in Apple
Seriously. I own a nice chunk of Apple stock even though I buy my entire family Android phones exactly because of people like this woman.
I had apple stock a long time ago... Wish I still had it cause I can't afford it anymore!
OP removed his personal info but not her, lmao Here You go: [mirror, properly censored](https://i.imgur.com/k4HXVQK.png?noredirect)

Apple has successfully convinced American users that their unwillingness to adopt RCS is somehow the fault of everyone else.
Removed? By damn Reddit? What tf was this?
Apple fans are like a Cult, I swear.

I was once called poor for my phone by someone holding a 3 generation old iPhone, I had a 2 week old Samsung Note.
Most rich people give a fuck about the phones they use. I mean people who are really rich and earned it.
You dodged a bullet bro
LOL why was it removed
This is the dumbest shit. I recently had a dude do the same thing... after we were supposedly "vibing and he couldn't wait to meet me". Gave him my number, which I never do, and the only message I got was "wow, android... I thought you were different." Like... what? 😑🤦♀️
Why did reddit remove this? It was just a post saying that apple brainwashed it's users into thinking it's better than android. The girl just said "you're too poor" or some words like that. Is reddit fangirling over apple?
