Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't Android's fault for not being compatible with it.

The more power a company like this gains, the worse will it be for the whole industry.

peers being frustrated because I have an android... being left out of group chats because people don't wanna break their existing imessage groups... having to constantly bother people about not sending videos/images over text because they become a blurry mess... frequently apologizing just for having an android...

And also a general awareness I've developed that I have been left out of things... harder to know because, well, I was left out.

Mind you I am probably in the single worst location for this in terms of mindshare. By my unscientific observation, ~0.5% of students had an android at my school.
