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 😔

Apple has better privacy features than Google.

Nobody should trust companies with their privacy, especially when they always get away with lying and their tools are in no way auditable.

No, not really.

You are telling me the company which sells ads to you care more about you privacy than a HW company?
