I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?
Apparently for some people they see it as a gimped version of IOS somehow. If anything IOS from what I’ve used before is so much more locked down now than it used to be when I had a 3G. But yeah the stigma is there with some people, but it doesn’t really matter at this point. If you want to side load apps, use android because you don’t have to go out of your way to get dev permissions, hook it up to the PC to install, and constantly re-approve your side-loaded apps. Seriously that shit gets annoying real fast.
