This is so funny for someone from Europe. Nobody I know cares what phone you have.

And everyone is using chat apps, mostly WhatsApp or signal, so everybody has the same great chatting experience.

Said like someone who can't afford an iPhone...

Just kidding, I use Samsung myself. It's crazy how easy it is to brainwash Americans into worshiping their corporate gods. Couple of good ads and they will die for their brand or choice.

My wife was bullied into getting an iPhone because of her colleagues, and they were buy one get one free, so now I have one too.

It’s a phone, I’m happy

People get so hostile over such things. I have an iPhone for business. I have a Pixel for my personal use. They're alright. It depends on what you need. Still a smartphone enthusiast.
