you're assuming there's a right way of owning a phone.

Except I’m literally not. I have a hard opinion about which is better, and sometimes I’m judgey.

Lotta people got a lotta piss in their cornflakes over something that, in my experience, more apple users do anyway. After all, it’s a well known phenomenon to get ghosted over wrong colored message bubbles. I don’t plan to cut contact with anyone over their phone preference, but I will make a couple inferences about their priorities when I see they’ve got the new $1200 iphone that just came out last month.

Doubly so when they also complain about how expensive something is. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ye I never knew about the phenomenon. As other posters have pointed out - must be an American phenomenon. I don't even use SMS.

and i’ll be the last person to argue for SMS. media messages are a fucking MESS, it’s a terrible standard in 2024
