Like everyone else I was impressed with the iPhone when it came out as a new device. A little later I got an Android, I've never liked mac desktops, it was cheaper, and I liked that it was more open. Then a little after that I was shocked seeing a friend's iphone that amount of features it lacked. No app folders, no widgets, no real customization at all, not to mention the walled garden not allowing a lot of apps and thus functionality I use, like torrents and ad-blocking. Since then it's always been Android only, either a custom rom or clean install. Then, it wasn't until last year I learned that in the US "blue text bubbles" is seen as a negative thing, a sign of being poor or some nonsense. It's a uniquely American thing, and utterly insane and idiotic. But then I figured it works as kind of a filter. If someone wants to judge and dismiss me for having "blue text bubbles", they are probably not worth talking to in the first place. I think it still works that way. Most of the teens are just following what's popular without doing any critical thinking about it at all. They'll either grow out of it, or grow into people not really worth dealing with.
