- danaris 5y agoThat research definitely doesn't seem to support the thesis that it's the green bubbles that are the reason.
- tata71 5y agoIt's network effect, visually manifested as green bubble plebs.
- danaris 5y agoI'm not disagreeing that it's happening (it makes sense, and I have no data to say otherwise), but unless I'm seriously missing something, nothing in the article linked by mgh2 mentions network effect, iMessage, green/blue bubbles, or anything related.
- MBCook 5y agoThat’s a shallow “article” quoting a single stat from a survey. Nowhere does it say WHY teens are choosing iPhones. And the discussion just seems to assume it’s iMessage with only supporting anecdotes about its popularity and practically nothing about other possibilities.
