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?
You're viewing a single thread.
I can see why people would be annoyed. Y family is heavily invested in the Apple/iCloud side of things. And having all our phones work together in the same environment is so much less of a headache vs. a mix of apple, android.
Idk why you're downvoted, you're right. I mean, I know why you're downvoted – they aren't able to separate the corporation trying their hardest to lock people into their walled garden from the corporation's victims (in lack of a less dramatic word 🫠)
Even the attempt to do that is why I left and will never go back. Iphone parental controls for example you can't control your kids phone without another iphone or mac.
Try enrolling in MLS season pass without an apple device. It's extremely difficult and I think only done otherwise with itunes which requires Mac or windows.
How can this 3 trillion dollar company not let you do all this shit via a simple webpage?
I'm sure you know this already but it's to lock you into their ecosystem, seems like they go one step further and actively exclude non apple users. A simple webpage is exactly what they don't want because that means they can use the service on a generic device. Think I'll stay outside of that ecosystem.
