          Android phones are cheaper upfront that then leads to the people of colour often using them in the global south

        Literally nobody cares what colour your bubbles are.

        What is annoying is how group chats suck when people on android are involved.

        I’m mostly looking forward to that being fixed

          You a teen in the US?

          Saw a teen tell Tim Cook kids in his school were being bullied over not necessarily one hue vs. another shade but presumably the degraded functionality (simplified as “green bubbles”).

          Group chats are so huge - and including one non-Apple user means nobody gets bells & whistles.

          It’s absolutely ridiculous! But it’s hard to argue - it’s happening, making less money would stop it, but money matters more than kids.

              I just don’t think you and I are the people who see this stuff.

              When it comes to video games and violence, you have to try - try to draw lines.

              What kind of line needs to be drawn to deduce “who’s green?” is related to a feature?
