Yeah nobody actually gives a shit about that except zoomers and news stations pretending like it’s a thing

Even as an (older) zoomer in the US, this was never a thing for me. No one cared what phone you used. If you had an Android you wouldn't be in iMessage group chats but no one judged you for it.

Well considering here in Czechia (the country that's 90% "middle of fucking nowhere") it's scary that a third of active phones are iPhones, how does anyone except the people living in big cities afford this shit? People around me are getting iPhones, but it's always like 4-5 year old 11s and 12s, literally the shittiest investment you can do

Also can't wait in a couple of years when this number will probably go up and iMessage will take over any other messaging app

I mean, even those old iPhones have better software support than a lot of low-end/budget Android phones. The iPhone 11 still has iOS 17 and will probably get security patches for another year or two (assuming it gets dropped with iOS 18, maybe Apple will try pushing it another year).

I got a phone that's 2/3s of the price, started on android 13, got 14 recently, yeah it's the same but the advantage of it being newer means I have a bigger battery, 90hz display, and more that you just don't get with a 4-5 year old phone

Yep, also not a thing where I'm from.
