Right, I don’t understand why these weird hacky services are making headlines. If you want to have a blue bubble, just buy an iPhone. They’re not actually THAT expensive, you can usually buy last year’s model for under $500 if you wait for a deal and you’re willing to commit to a carrier. Or if you really can’t afford that, you can get an older iPhone basically for free. Even a 3 year old model gets you a blue bubble.
Or, if you’re not an insecure child that gives in to peer pressure, get whatever phone you want.
I had an iPhone for a decade with my work. Quit both of them and got an android. I’m way happier being able to do things more than one way and to be able to customize everything.
Phones in general suck, but if the shitty, android at least let’s you do what you want.
The vast majority of androids are worse for repairability. The ones that get more than a year or two of support don’t have any parts available. The ones that do get support have far worse physical restrictions like straight up gluing parts in.
The rest you mention, >99% of people don’t do anyway.
They said if you’re buying solely based bubble color then it’s based on peer pressure, there of course are other valid reasons for someone to choose one and there are also other bad reasons.
The point is open communication standard and tech illiterates like yourself keep repeating this Apple propaganda. Maybe read a wiki page or something idk
I have a 5 year old iphone, it’s great. I can’t imagine it’s worth anything, just noting it works for every day use. You don’t need a new phone at all for anything.
ETA: I just NFC-charged my local transit card with my ancient-ass iphone the other day which is a thing I didn’t honestly know it could do yesterday. I’m not trolling, I don’t know what has been offered in the last 5 years on either platform that is at all required to use a phone, as long as Apple continues to support the phone with OS updates.

lol ok.

You literally only have to call Apple to have it unlocked.

But if you care, you can get a repairable phone like the Fairphone.
Damn, we calling 3 years old now? My iPhone 6 must be from the Paleolithic era then.
Lol I said it’s 3 years old, not “old”. That’s the not-so-secret secret of today’s phones: a 2 or 3 year old phone works just fine.
So how is someone who makes a conscious choice giving into peer pressure and insecure
No other introspective reasons why someone could select a phone othe than an iPhone.

I didn’t say that people only buy iPhones because of peer pressure. I said that buying an iPhone due to peer pressure is silly.
what’s alternative
Peer pressure…?
I mean, I guess if you’re 16.
Exactly, it’s childish

is bad for environment
My thoughts exactly. It’s fucking childish to make such a fuss over the color of a text bubble. These kids need to grow up.
