I guess I’m biased toward 🍎 products because that’s what I interacted with first. I also find that they are so much easier to use. It feels like I’m driving a car with a manual transmission when I don’t.

I think she makes a good point about the elitism! A lot of people buy iPhones or similar technology just to show them off because they're expensive. They do have some good features, I will admit, but often the "new" phones have unspoken issues (not just iPhones), and you shouldn't necessarily buy them just because they're trendy. One thing I like about Androids is their customizability/hackability, and that's something I like with technology in general. :)

Yeah, I basically agree. I think every phone I've ever had kind of sucked, though. So I'm not going to simp for any tech over another. Pay me (a lot) if you want me to advertise for you. But aside from that, being able to own a [new] Apple product is a social status thing.

I've certainly known people with iPhones who don't make it a core part of their identity, though. They don't have any militant opinions about how the iPhone is better than any other phone. Because if they did, then they'd probably have some other more serious irritating traits that made them difficult to be friends with.

errrmm .... stupid propaganda advertising if you ask me... I do not take that as something real.

Love her vibe and she has a good point. I don't own an iPhone bc I think it's a better product, I just own one because I don't have any super complicated phone needs--any phone will do the job for me, and it's just easy to pick an iPhone because I get overwhelmed at how many more Android options there are

I had no idea the situation was that bad. Ghosted her for using an Android? I mean how f*cking vain and superficial do you have to be to stop talking to someone because they don't use an iPhone? But it could be that she just assumed it was the green text that made them ghost her when it was really something she said or how she said it.

Anyway, Apple is totally a cult and their operating systems are inferior.

She's a real one, I like her, I'm gonna go look for her on Tinder! Anyway as for the Android vs. Apple stuff, I'm in favor of open source and open standards and fuck Apple just for that reason, but whatever live your life and enjoy your Apple cult membership if that's how you wanna roll
