Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?

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?

I can't stand iOS or any of Apples' faux premium nonsense. Everything is clunky and unintuitive to me and I just want something that works without having to jump through hoops all the time. Android isn't perfect but it's a lot more functional

Remember when work issued me with a macbook. Holy frustrating learning curve that is so unintuitive.

I still hate that thing lol

Haha. I took over my wife's old macbook because she got a new one and my laptop broke down. I lasted a good 30 minutes before getting rid of MacOS and replacing it with Linux. It's surprisingly similar but isn't bloated with Apple crap.

There are very weird limitations in IPhone apps. The only reason I'd buy an IPhone would be the photo quality. But I don't take photos so mhe.

The iPhone picture quality thing is something intentionally created by Apple. They make pictures sent from other os's look shitty on purpose.
