That’s half-true. No adults I voluntarily associate with care what brand of phone anybody else has in theory, but a lot of the iPhone owners are vehemently unwilling to install any third-party messaging apps. That means:
- Messaging about anything where security is important is a problem. Most people don’t have big secrets, but sending things that could be used for identity theft isn’t terribly rare.
- Exchanging high-quality media is impossible.
- People will exclude non-iPhone users from group chats because falling back to MMS is a bad experience for everyone.

Lucky you.
Had to call a company for support of a $40,000 piece of equipment. They were at first willing to help and asked to FaceTime the call. When I told them I don’t have an iPhone, I was pretty much shut down and told to just call a local repair man. (The repair man, not associated with them, helped me completely over the phone. Didn’t need video or anything)

If that company is serious about conducting professional business for any length of time, they'll learn better soon enough. In my industry, we still use dialup modems to remotely manage some equipment.

It’s one of the leading companies in restaurant equipment. Worth a little $750 million. It’s a serious company and they didn’t care.
