      The iCult is STRONG with kids.

      This is the real issue.

        It’s probably old people and not kids at this point, but easier to blame young people than the old.

        Who the fuck buys things, adults, not kids.

      I had women in their 40s express their distaste when I had an Android phone.

        Then they’re assholes. Seems pretty simple, no?

        For someone in their 40s, they’re probably stuck in the iPhone=rich/Android=poor dichotomy that Apple curated when the iPhone launched. That makes them vain and materialistic, and thus probably not people you want to be around if it’s that important to them.

        Now, if you want to get into how Apple has been changing the contrast ratios on the text for blue and green bubbles to make the green messages harder to read, as well as intentionally making the green color unpleasant, there’s something there.

  Apple finally supporting RCS should end this unless your “friends” are teenagers.
