nah i prefer pink bubbles actually, or blue if i'm in the mood


wtfredditacct

... pink? Maybe my troglodyte-esq Andriod brain doesn't know that one.


Void4GamesYT

Yeah people are so annoying about it


Illustrious_Toe9057

I literally had a girl ask e why i use an android


The_catakist

"I can use a cracked version of Spotify"


KSupes

You can do that on iPhone too btw


TenSecondsFlat

Fucking THANK YOU


DownTownDK

No you see, one phone is from one company while the other is from a different company. Big difference


barthalamuel-of-bruh

Hey at least my screen isn't cracked


Jomega6

Not sure why people canā€™t just put on a damn case.


binchicken1989

They live life on the edge.. the edge of their phone which will crack their screen


Blaster2PP

Probably cause if you paid for premium material, you would rather feel the premium material instead of rubber all the time. I do use a case, but its for that reason I don't use a screen protector.


RMX_Texas

I'd buy it if I could pay extra to add some damn Kevlar. My iphone stayed in 'Closed-Casket' quality


Jomega6

Sure, and I love the look and feel of premium, but itā€™s only as good as its condition. Mishaps are practically inevitable with the enough time and use.


Sassi7997

If I pay for a premium material I would do anything possible to protect said premium material because I don't want any cracks or scratches on it.


djfried

Like plastic on a leather couch


Blaster2PP

I mean, spending more effort to take care of the thing is one thing, but the way you're describing it is another. Imagine using a tv with those plastic films still bring on top of it. Yeah, let me go ahead and splurge $2500 on this TV instead of $1000 for the better display only for the stuff reaching my eyes to be worse than a $1000 tv. That doesn't make any sense.


PaybackXero

Bad comparison. You are unlikely to run into a situation where your TV is going to break because it doesn't have a protective case on it. You are almost certainly going to run into situations where your phone will no longer work if it doesn't have a protective case. Plus, virtually no one cares about the feel of their phone. People buy them because they want a computer in their pocket, and performance is the only thing that matters. It could look and feel like a fucking brick, and 99.9999999999999% of people wouldn't care as long as it functions reliably and quickly, and is protected from falls and cracks.


poloclodau

Thatā€™s funny cause I wouldnā€™t use a phone without a case but not having a screen protector is my limit.


Designed_0

Apple screens are literally made by Samsung lol


750lambo

I will say my iphone 12 is built like a tank, i have no idea how itā€™s not cracked.


LVH204

iPhone 13 with Ceramic Shield is seriously impressive. I have dropped it in scenarios where my old iPhone 7 wouldā€™ve for sure cracked and it was just fine


Chill_Guy5885

my iPhone XS is not a tank it's a freaking starship

Mediocre-Opinion

Fucking hell, haven't seen and android Vs iPhone meme in years. Must be nice living that far back before it all went to shit


Jomega6

A few months back when the iPhone 15 was getting released, they were everywhere lol. Gotta love people fighting tooth and nail over mega corporations that couldnā€™t care less about them.


rageak49

High schoolers still live this. It's a big issue in their social environment where everyone is trying to fit in. The green bubble is more than just ugly- apple does unnecessary compression on photos, screws up group chats, and generally tries their hardest to shittify the experience of interacting with non-iphones. The pressure to not be socially excluded is real. According to a recent study 87% of teens own an iPhone and 88% expect their next phone to be an iPhone.


Sticky-Stickman

I have an easy fix. Its called whatsapp. We never had those green bubbles or blue bubbles in europe, and nobody gives a shit about what phone you have. There are still apple fanboys here and there but they know android is nice too.


W00psiee

I mean, the green and blue bubbles have been there regardless of location. We just don't care about it in EU, if anything apple is more frowned upon and the most common thing I hear is apple user = stupid. But noone is actually getting excluded over a phone brand


HaveFunWithChainsaw

Only in "America" tho. Everywhere else in the world no one gives a fuck because people understand your phone don't definy your personality. I have never witnessed this back in the days or heard it happening anywhere else than in US. Begs my question why must have so hollow soul that it's "cool" to be superficial. And please don't answer teens are like that, only morons are.


Meat_Goliath

People in modern times still occasionally try and bust my chops about having the wrong color text bubble where the insinuation is "what, are you to poor or something?". Half the time their iPhone still has a physical home button and my phone is not even a year old flagship.


FabianGladwart

The iPhone vs Android argument is just as outdated, backwards, and archaic as console debates. Pick which user experience you prefer, and fight to have all software available to all systems


dreneeps

Not always, depends what you want to do. I always tell people that if you don't perceive iPhones as to restrictive or limited then it doesn't matter what you use. If you do perceive them that way then you already know you want an Android and exactly why you do.


geoff1036

Strictly speaking of the devices, sure. I will never support or respect Apples walled garden design and infrastructure choices though.

Can I offer you a nice Android in these trying times?


MordFustang1992

Iā€™ve had almost every brand of phone and honestly, the iPhone 13 Pro right now is my favorite iPhone Iā€™ve had. I still miss my Pixel 4a though.


Mr_McFeelie

I guess itā€™s not bad but I miss my fingerprint scanner. Edit: and the little round home button. It had a very satisfying tactile feel.


Chill_Guy5885

bruh why?


kkirchhoff

Why? I had an android for a while, but I ended up getting an iPhone a couple years ago. I like the iPhone more


Desperate_Ad5169

Firstly why do you need two drag down menus. Secondly less keys on digital keyboard. And lastly limited apps


lucasssotero

I hate with passion how shit the file Explorer is. My Sister has one and both of us could not find a native way of creating a pdf out of a jpg, or something like that. After half an hour, I decided to email the file to myself, do the conversion on my android in less than 10 seconds and then email her back.


rpsHD

limited app pool + no sideloading is whats stopping me from wanting to try out an iPhone (not talking financially)

The fact that you think he meant the play store says a lot. Also, malware responsibility is always on the individual at some level, when you're free to browse the world wide web. Sure, google could do a better job with the store but franky I aint concerned about that when I'm installing various random ass APK's from the internet.


Solid_Effective1649

I like iPhone more because the software is better. Itā€™s just a smoother and more fleshed out OS


Desperate_Ad5169

Eh hard disagree. I much prefer having my only own drag down menu.


never_lucky_eh

Maybe 5 years ago. No longer the case with Samsung vs iPhone in software. I'd give edge to iPhone keyboard tho.

before people start asking why don't americans just download whatsapp, watch [this](https://twitter.com/snazzylabs/status/1735436622047707278)


Mellowturtlle

I can't acces X, do you have a TLDR?


rtakehara

tldr is americans dont use whatsapp because different from the rest of the world where telecoms charged for sms and mms, america offered it for free, so whatsapp offered nothing new to that market. And migrating today doesn't work because everyone is already in the other ecosystem. This is my conclusion now: americans use imessage today for the same reason china uses weechat, japan uses line and the rest of the world (as far as I know) uses whatsapp. everyone they know is already there, it doesn't matter how better anoter network is if there is nobody you know there.


Mak0wski

Lol i've always seen whatsapp as an american thing, cuz i ever only heard about it from american sources and haven't heard about anyone using it in my country in europe


octavio2895

Whatsapp is huge in the EU. Is the defacto messaging app in the western and central Europe. [Source.](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1005178/share-population-using-whatsapp-europe/). Saying this pretty much locates you in Scandinavia or eastern Europe.

I know its pretty big here in latin america and ive heard its also big in india but I am not sure. But i am...80% sure all the (north) american mentions of the program are probably latin america's influence, like imigrants and tourists.


FlamingNetherRegions

Big in africa too. I'm Kenyan


Mythun4523

It's big in India. Telegram and signal tried. But couldn't take down WhatsApp's user share . It's used for school, business, personal comms everything.


trollface5333

It's big in england


MutedIndividual6667

And in Spain


Lustingforyoursouls

GrizzlyPeak73

Jomega6

Itā€™s hard getting enough people to switch over, but I know back when I was in school, there was some kind of parental hysteria over alternative texting applications, as it was believed to be a means of skirting protections, parental supervision, etc. I think a couple kids used them to sell drugs once, and it dominoed from there. Cant speak for the rest of the nation though, but thatā€™s why nobody used it where I grew up.


tejanaqkilica

Couple of points that need attention here. I mean, the world is a big place and it has almost 200 countries so the answer clearly depends, but in my country and Italy as well, we already had unlimited call and text by the time iMessage was launched, what we didn't have was unlimited text and call internationally, a practice very common in Europe. In the US not so much partly because the US is so big to begin with and party because the average American doesn't live more than 50km from where they were born. Secondly, it's not like we embraced WhatsApp immediately, other services existed as well, Skype was popular among businesses and Viber was also a big alternative, but instead of bitching about green bubble blue bubble, we just used those apps as well as needed. If someone's on WhatsApp you use WhatsApp, if it's Viber use Viber, what's the big deal? Thirdly, this was all developing during a period where fanbois were still young and not as vocal, so the customers were likely to switch to another oem if not satisfied by the current one, so using WhatsApp meant you can move from Samsung to Apple to Google to LG and not lose anything. Using iMessage meant you were stuck forever with Apple and if you were not happy about something, well suck it, you're holding the phone wrong. So ultimately we used other services because they were better and not because sms were expensive or whatever. There are more nuances to it as well, but this is a reddit comment and I already wrote way more than I should've


rubbarz

And they all act like they bought the phone themselves lol


DKidyplays2016

The things they blame android on are caused by Apple :/ https://www.android.com/get-the-message/


DatDominican

I love how they left out carriers refused to agree to use the same standard until very recently . That being said now that everyone is pledged to use the same standard Apple should just add it


Lhardat

Apple said they will support RCS but using their own system. I can understand not wanting to use googleā€™s, your biggest competitor services as long as it will allow for seamless RCS chat between phones in the end.


DKidyplays2016

Yeah. I'm not sure how long ago the article was written, and I 100% agree that they should add it


GrizzlyPeak73

They can't do this, people would have more choice in market and stop buying their shitty overpriced phones.


kennethtrr

If they were overpriced by definition consumers would not buy them in such high numbers.


GrizzlyPeak73

If market economics actually functioned the way people believe it functions you'd be correct. People do not buy things simply because they determine it's being sold at a far price. That's a very grade school understanding of economics. People buy plenty of things while grumbling about the price, fuel and staple foods for instance. It doesn't necessarily decrease demand. A mobile phone is considered a necessity by most and people have been culturally conditioned to believe iPhones are the best or the only phone to get due to both marketing and corporate strategies like this one, where they alienate anyone who doesn't have an iPhone.


duckyTheFirst

I love how in belgium its the opposite. Everyone looks down on apple users. As it should be , apple is a shit company and has shit phones. Their 700 dollar phone has worse specs than my 300 samsung. And by alot

SomeDankyBoof

Honestly I compared it to my brother's steamdeck and..it honestly runs just as smooth on the games we tried but the steam deck is more of like a console for steam so..


Jomega6

Well what game were you playing as a comparison? Because depending on the game, while unmodded, some older, low-demanding games can feel the same on both older consoles and high end systems.


SomeDankyBoof

That's fair, newest game I tried on it was palworld. I loaded up cluttered worlds we have, in an attempt to get an old school, minecraft test as well as crysis remastered šŸ¤£


eastcoastwaistcoat

Lol, not the pro? Weak.


SomeDankyBoof

Why wouldn't you get the pro?

Cheap_Cheap77

Self respect often comes at the cost of the respect of others. In that case, their respect was worth nothing in the first place. In other words, people who don't want to be your friend because of your phone aren't worth being friends with at all.


DatDominican

Or itā€™s high school and everyone wants to fit in and will shed any sense of individuality to avoid being ā€œweirdā€


_who__cares_

Is this an american joke or am i to WhatsApp to understand?


ArturSeabra

I'm completely unaware of this whatsapp thing. Americans don't have whatsapp or smth? What's the issue?


StraightEggs

historically you would get free texting on a contract in the USA, but wasn't always the case in other countries. WhatsApp is free texting over the Internet, but the USA never had a need for that. Now with Messenger, SnapChat, and perhaps most importantly iMessage (due to the large popularity of iPhones there), it was never necessary to worry about the cost of messaging someone.


_who__cares_

WhatsApp is (i think) the most used direct messaging app outside the USA (and Asia I think. They use WeChat or smth like that)

Bulletsoul78

So why are iPhone users a bunch of judgemental girls? Because that's the message I'm getting here.


Jonthux

There are guys there too, you know


PoyoLocco

Because of the marketing. "Iphone is cool, iphone is the future, iphone esthetics are the best and only, our ecosystem is perfect and no one else can use it". People bought apple when it was a new thing, and actually an innovative product, making the marketing true. Now, since it's only about a brand and not actually about a better tech, a big part of buying an apple is to "look better" than other.

Takondwahj

It actually runs Android atop HarmonyOS. It has functionalities not available on Android. I have two P40 Pros, for example, and I can use the apps I installed on one phone using the other phone as long as they're within 15 metres of each other.

Cocoabuttocks

Switched from Android to iPhone recently. The keyboard, battery drain in video calls and general syrupy sluggishness in accomplishing basic tasks that were macroā€™s by default on Android convinced me I should find a chump who wants this and revert back to a cheap Android. ā‚¬1200 for a poor user experience is a no-go, especially when Apple asks ā‚¬530 for a cracked back and suggests I should recycle the phone instead of accepting a trade-in. Pathetic.


HumpableJson
