Interesting figure that comes out of the article: 87% of US teens prefer iPhones. Also the explanations given aren’t quite surprising, I guess it’s mostly because of iMessage. Teens will feel like outcasts if they get an Android phone while their friends still use iMessage because of the green bubbles.
It’s actually hilarious how we allowed consumerism to take us this far and that we have now peer pressure over smartphones.
“You’re telling me in 2023, you still have a ’Droid? […] You gotta be at least 50 years old.”
ouch 😔
At least there’s a chance you can install a custom OS like Graphene or Lineage on a phone, if you choose correctly.
There isn’t the slightest chance anymore of making an Apple phone your own.
Jailbreaking is a thing no? it was last I checked. Which was years ago tbh
Pretty sure not. I ditched the iPhone when I couldn’t jailbreak it anymore and that was years ago.
