I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?
i miss the good old times when i was too young to be literate and could not have possibly read this post
People that buy Apple are some of the most superficial beings on this planet.
Who gives a fuck about text bubbles?
Find friends that aren’t so shallow.
I have friends who, against better counsel, have android phones, and the group texts were forever breaking. I finally brokered a deal for us to use Signal, which has been great. So (1) Android users in a group text on iPhone is a super pain in the ass, and (2) If everyone’s using Signal, it’s cool.
I’m very confused about the ‘better counsel’ part. Do you actually believe that iphones are a better phone?
The green color that Apple chose for SMS was picked because of how harsh it is on the eyes. They want you to hate talking to non Apple users.
Do you think they had green with very poor contrast from the start? https://coolors.co/contrast-checker/ffffff-65c466
I highly doubt it. Apple is known for intentional design.
This may be a woosh moment, but I feel your link perfectly represents Apple’s willingness to create a poor user experience for their customers in order to incentivize them to apply pressure on their non-iOS friends
Yes, they did. I had an iphone from 2007-2011 and this was the only color my text messages were. iMessage didn’t exist yet at that time.
You don’t have to blindly trust me. Just look up old screenshots of iphone text messages. Make sure the aspect ratio of the screenshots matches the first 5 iphones, before the made the screen longer with the iphone 5.
I don’t care what phone you have, but if you have an iPhone, I will assume you are an idiot by default until proven otherwise.
