- tobylane 6y agoIs there a relevant law or court case that takes sectors of consumers into account? That one could be more relevant because they are vulnerable, or less relevant because the devices are bought in their parents name.
- throwaways885 6y agoAs a teenager I felt pushed out of conversations because I was an Android user, and got written off as a green bubble.
- salawat 6y agoThat's the most ridiculous division known to man. You don't use the right back end, therefore you aren't cool. It's absolutely absurd. I mean, about on par for teenagers, but gah... I can picture the conversation about "Your "friends" are complete morons, and you shouldn't feel ashamed or ostracized at what is probably one of the most silliest social signaling practices on the planet." It hurts being an engineer sometimes. These networks are marvels of human ingenuity, and people take them and use superficial differences in UI and completely miss the point. God bless. I keep thinking UX/UI can't get any worse, but what humanity takes out of it never ceases to amaze.
- lallysingh 6y ago> That's the most ridiculous division known to man. Ha! They're teenagers. They will invent new divisions as needed.
- throwaways885 6y agoIt wasn't about UX. When Android users join iOS conversations, they lose the ability to use stickers, high quality pictures, etc... But instead of bringing iMessage to Android, Apple has intentionally created a way to get teenagers to look down on non-Apple users (yes, it's seen as a major status symbol, too) to promote their products.
