Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry.

But other than that, I don’t hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

    This right here. Lifelong Android user that switched to the iPhone 14 and never looked back.

    Edit: iPhone 13, not 14, my bad.

      My problem with Apple is that everything’s designed to interoperate with other Apple stuff, and nothing else. It feels like a walled garden that doesn’t just keep users in, but also keeps those of us out who might want to try a single Apple device without spending many thousands replacing our entire ecosystem.

        Literally causing people to get bullied into getting an iphone over stupid chat bubble colors.

          Which gets even stupider when you realize apple is being stubborn and that is causing the issue

            Absolutely, Apple is being resistant to RCS not because they think iMessage is superior but because they know it weakens their lock in power. I know I’m stating the obvious, but it just annoys me so much.

        Not necessarily.

        You can get one and try it out, the ecosystem stuff is more enhancement than a detriment if you don’t have them.

        Like Apple Watch and my MacBook Air, I can authenticate or unlock the screen using my Apple Watch rather than a password. But that’s just a benefit and I wouldn’t be losing anything but the enhancement if I didn’t have both.

      It’s funny you say that with the 14 that came out less than a year ago :)

      Although I made the same jump with the 12 so I do agree.
