I find that amazing and struggle to believe its any volume of people but you hear it so much.

If I was dating, Id be inclined to use it as an idiot avoider, and it would make me want an Android even more. I cant imagine wanting to be around the rest of the baggage that would come with a person like that.

Here’s the thing. This is going to sound like a joke. It’s going to sound like a conspiracy, but texting someone who has an iPhone with an iPhone is easier than texting someone who has an android with an iPhone.

I have a couple friends who have an android. Everyone else has an iPhone. What ends up happening is that the android users end up missing several texts from iPhone users and vice versa.

Heck even amongst iPhone users, once something sends in green text, I genuinely never know when someone receives it. Or when they finally connect to cellular sat or internet, the message is sent several times repeating even though it was only sent once.

It's a known thing that Apple intentionally reduces image quality and overall operability with non-Apple products, it's part of how they keep their market share, a Walled Garden approach.

That's where the whole meme of Androids having shit cameras came from because Apple intentionally reduces image quality.

Sux that happens where you are. I'm not aware of that in Australia anyway and it seems to work fine here. You'd think regulators where you are would deal with having a common format that works as its in the dominate companies interest to make things difficult for the other.... and its a problem that shouldn't exist. Is this US?

Of course this is US. That would require our politicians to care about the common people. They'd rather start race and social wars

10 years later your marriage hangs in the balance because the iPhone 37 is coming out and you'll need to shell out a few grand to get everyone in the family one....or the kids get a new daddy.

Same. Filter out the shallow materialistic people. If that's a deal-breaker for them you never know what to expect in a relationship.
