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 like android better because it has way less limitations than apple. It also seems more flexible as far as apps and customization is concerned.

      I like Android because I get more of a choice in phones than just the two or three on offer by Apple. I usually go with Samsung but I’ve had Motorola and LG before… just depends who’s got the best device in my price range.

          You can ‘sideload’ apps, but your phone needs to check in with a computer every ten days.

          Launchers are no where to be seen. I’d imagine if you jailbreak it you could.

          Custom roms: nah that ain’t happening on an iPhone. Which is a shame, it’s the best hardware in the space, and iPadOS, for example, is currently holding back the tablets.
