I have seen people literally say they like that iMessage is exclusive, and they like to keep Android users away/separate
It was reeking of classism in addition to being generally a terrible thing to read
I've heard of people not responding to the wrong colored bubbles or being judgemental, like my $1,200 phone is better than your $1,200 phone?
What an American problem. 😂
Bullet dodged. Thinking you're hot shit because you use the ultimate basic bitch phone is just ridiculous.
I mean, guys have the same thing going on. Fickle knows no gender.
I think basic bitch is not a gender specific phrase, I personally use the meme bitch on myself even as a cis guy.
In so many ways.
That's just sad. Not even sports teams or musicians, but over a walled-gardened messaging app?
I knew a 29 y/o woman that switched to iPhone so that others with iPhones would see her text messages bubble as blue instead of green. Imagine blowing over a thousand dollars so that someone else sees blue rather than green in text messages. Meanwhile, I can make the bubble colors whatever color I want on my Android.
I honestly blame Apple for abusing the societal penchant for forming tribes around random things.
Top whack android phones aret really cheaper than iPhones these days so it's not classism as such. Yanks just seem to love to tribalise everything, see masks during Covid as another example. I think it's a result of having a two party political system.
I know it's not actually a thing, it was about how they were talking about it
