Me being from London, I barely hear about this. Is it an American thing or something the younger generation is doing?

I heard women would even judge men for having a Samsung phone, or people have this bad blood between brands.

Reminds me of console wars but without the videogame part.

Edit: Shit I meant Apple vs Android >_>

It's mostly an American thing, especially because of younger people and iMessage/FaceTime. IPhone adoption has being growing in the US and almost 90% of Gen Z has iPhones and even overall, the iPhone now has 60% of the market share in the US, whereas it's much lower in other countries.

Apple vs. Android is pretty much a thing only perpetuated by the Android side, and it's caused almost entirely by Google purposely trying to change how texting works entirely just to try to bank a monopoly off of it. There was literally no reason to change how your common texting works, since if you want anything more, plenty of apps already exist. Google be greedy, though. Apple are the ones who want to stick with traditional texting, and leave anything fancier to apps. Google/Android are the ones that are trying to do away with traditional texting completely, in favor of Google server sided apps.

imessage

Imessage isn't an app, it's just SMS/MMS texting. Which is what Apple was fighting to keep. Google is the one that wants to kill SMS texting, in favor of their own server sided service. Google is trying to kill SMS, which anything can use, in favor of their own RCS, which is a Google server sided service that require new infrastructure to use.

traditional texting absolutely doesnt have the perks of imessage, it's traditional in the sense that it's the only app you have on default in an iphone for sms.

Again, Imessage works via SMS, which is traditional texting. Google is trying to kill SMS in favor of RCS, which REQUIRES a Google server to function.

Imessage is something that leverages SMS to the fullest, but any phone can use SMS texting. Google wants to kill SMS and force people to use RCS, which is run by Google servers.

No... imessage is not SMS. Its it's own thing like Snapchat or WhatsApp. Apple just integrates it into the default messaging app. That's why we have green bubbles vs blue bubbles.

Imessage uses SMS as a default. Yes, it's something built ON TOP of SMS, but if you aren't sending to another Imessage phone, it just uses SMS. There's no difference to the actual user.

RCS does NOT do this. RCS requires a Google server.

On both, for now, yes.

Apple wants this to continue to be a thing, because Imessage is built on an SMS backbone.

Google wants to kill SMS completely so that everybody has to use RCS, since it's their own created service.

It has nothing to do with Google wanting everyone use THEIR proprietary services. While Google largely helped innovate and push out RCS, it's the GSMA's intellectual property. The push for RCS is because it's more versatile and far more secure/safe than standard SMS.

Apple is the one that likes to make users use their proprietary stuff ie their reluctance to use usb-c.

Samsung is like Apple, but run on Android.

Also Samsung tried to have their own OS, Tizen, because they don't want to follow android rules and have all profits for themselves. But the customers don't like it lol.

It exists, but I'm not in the social circles where it matters much. I also don't even try to be in relationships with anyone to know with if there's any degree of regularity in which women would look down others for not having an iPhone.
The loudest Apple snobs that I've personally met have been men or amab nonbinary. I know some coworkers have told me that their teenage kids are really picky. Even knowing that, it's because a stupid view social view that associated Apple products' price tag with a more elite status symbol and not the device's quality.

And in east Asia everyone uses LINE. Both of these apps are free, better than imessage, and work great whether you're on Android or Apple, but America insists on sticking with regular texting.

It's a shame though because if either of the above apps ever became the standard everyone uses, nobody would want to go back to regular texting even if it is free.
