    Android sucks. It feels like a budget, second-rate product. It’s not polished. It’s for nerds who like to customize everything. You open the web browser and it just seems janky. That’s my experience.

    apple devices are fashionable and android devices aren’t. also android devices are often marketed towarss geeks. If I were on the marketing team for Android, I would suggest marketing Android devices as simple and user-friendly devices that do things better than Apple. And adding a more youthful and luxiorious designs wouldn’t hurt either

    there was a survey or something a while back that showed that if you had an android you were 2-3x less likely to land a date than if you had an iPhone

    It sucks. I was getting hot and heavy with my 1st real gf. But her parents came home she told me to send a picture of my dick to her as I snuck out. I had just gotten the new pixel 8 pro after having iPhones for years. I snapped a shot and sent it and then she said “you don’t have a blue bubble? Well youre gonna have blue balls you fucking dweeb, bye Felicia!”

    3 weeks ago, i got a base Galaxy S23 128gb for the same price that Iphone 11 128gb is sold brand new(around 500euro), as an ex iphone 11 user that wanted something new. Even iphone 12 128 was more expensive than S23.

    I wanted to go at least iphone 15 due to typeC(even though 60hz screen sucks), but it was almost double the price. Even iphone 13 was like 250 more expensive. Yes the iphone prices in Europe are crazy expensive.

    Thats my main issue with Apple. Their cheaper options are really bad/awful, especially in Europe.

    Their devices, even older models are crazy expensive, including the repairs.

    And the last part is something most teenagers dont think about a lot(until they brake it, then they notice how expensive they are).

    in india iphone has become status symbol from decade.
    most indians here crave for public image and showing off apple logo helps it.
    my cousin has job, it does not pay well. he used to use OnePlus nord which has amoled display and 120hz and it worked fine.
    he recently married and when i visited the marriage, he was been using iphone 11, taking photo, flexing off omfg.
    i think it costs around 400 500$ in refurbished market or second hand market.
    i am sure u can get some awesome amoled screen and 120hz at that price point like s21 fe which kills its competition in camera.
    see when he saved money he just bought an iphone thinking that its the best lmao.

    Instagram and Snapchat pump out better content on iPhone versus Instagram (video quality)and those things matter to the teenagers

    Also weirdly the fonts used when posting stories or applying text to videos and photos are so different for iPhone versus android it’s a dead giveaway.

    None of the kids that my daughter hangs out with have android phones and none of them talk about wanting any of the android phones that are available. It’s not even part of their vocabulary and some of them are very interested in tech but it’s all iPhones iPads, and Apple watches.
