Clearly people with iPhones around me feel like they are a tad bit more superior. But everyone is just using WhatsApp, even between iPhone users, so it cancels out.
Is this sms protocol? Haven't sent any sms in yeeears
I convert all my friends to switch to Signal. If they like blue, then let's go there. E2EE and easy to use
I'm not sure if it is possible for me to care less what type of phone somebody uses.
If I found out somebody was judging me based on my phone I would seriously consider breaking up with them.
I'm surprised and dismayed we are even having this conversation, and some of the other replies are deeply troubling.
I switch to signal with my android friends, vanilla SMS is rough, particularly for group messages

I live in south korea, and YES. My friends say its a dealbreaker, although Idk the reasons.
I'm sure it is.
Just as driving a BMW is a deal-breaker for others. It's a good filter for avoiding people who are that shallow.

99% of people in Europe either use android or older models of iPhone, that's my experience in Italy at least, here a flagship iPhone costs more than a normal/good salary (about 1500 a month after egregious taxing) and the new iphones I unfortunately happen to see the pricetag of all come to about 1800, really can't blame people here for using android or iPhone 6/7.
Fuck em. We all think it's stupid as fuck when you "likes this post"
I have seen so many instances of people who are happy with their Pixel or other Android device being forced to switch to an iPhone because the rest of their family uses iPhones, and it's specifically because of iMessage. It's really sad.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
