Comment on Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app

• ConsumptionOne@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  That stat came from an article that made the rounds a few weeks ago that cited a phone survey of 1000 or so kids in one small part of the US. Small, poorly controlled sample size, so bad data.

  It isn’t. As far as I know, iMessage is irrelevant in Europe.

    At least here in Germany whattsapp us the standard. Apple has a phone market share if ~30%.

    But apple somehow managed to have pretty much all schools forcing their students to get an IPad. So the apple market share is increasing. I can not tell Hou how furious that makes me. Every parent has to buy one of those, so their children can use the most basic teaching apps, that any 100€ tablet could easily run. Poor children get an IPad on tax payers money, so I basically pay for my own children’s IPads and then a part of my tax money also flows to apple. I just wonder who (except Apple) got rich kn that deal… I fxxxing hate politicians.

    The correct term for that is American by the way, not USAian.

      Yeah, I mean I totally get the annoyance of American being overloaded for both US person and of the American continents, but USAian ain’t the solution lol that kind of sucks (hard to say, no history to it, etc)

        Give me a term less ambiguous than “American” and I might use it.

      No thanks. The USA doesn’t represent all of North and South America.

        I never said it does. I just said it’s the correct word. It’s not confusing or ambiguous. Only one country uses it. It also does represent multiple states in the americas, hence the name.
