I might discriminate against a guy with an iPhone. Maybe. But only if he was on it all the time while we were out.
Lol I’d look sideways at a dude with an iPhone.
This almost feels like a lie women tell about other women so that the person lying seems mature and reasonable in comparison.
Tell me youre a mouth breathing moron without telling me youre a mouth breathing moron.
Im equally likely to curb you if you use an iphone. You demonstrate herd mentality and that you dont understand technology. You spent $2k to use instagram and tiktok. Wow.
I’m a woman in the U.S. and I’ve never had a friend ditch a guy for using a different phone than them.
This is either fake, limited to the younger generation, infrequent enough that I’ve never encountered it, or regional
I know men who have a hard time getting dates, but phone choice has never been brought up as to why they’re rejected
(Frankly, if someone rejects anyone for what phone they are using, the rejecting-party’s clearly not worth pursuing)
Exactly. I would do the opposite, let them see your phone early and if they reject you because of it then you dodged that bullet.
Actually I encounter this routinely as a work issue. My work requires a lot of co-ordination of labor via cellphone and some of the basic features Apple has - regular old group messages for instance don’t show me, an android user, if a text is part of a group message and doesn’t allow me control over the response. Depending on my software update it either sends to everyone who was tagged in the original message or no one but the original recipient but I won’t know until I send it. That means any message I send back leaves me open to communication errors.
Also a whole bunch of stuff is proprietary, facetime, airdrop and so on meaning the ease of sharing information to me because of my hardware can be a factor in whether I get hired or not. This is actually purposefully done by Apple, they create convenience only between their users so it creates social pressure by causing android users to be routine social nuisances. They basically cause all these little micro fractures of actual peer to peer relationships on purpose to sneakily force android users to give up and buy their shit or else people have to be mindful of an android users limitations the same way you might have to adapt your behaviour to someone’s disability or allergy… By taking on the cognitive work of understanding and adapting to someone else’s limitations.
If you’ve ever seen someone throw a fit because they had to pick a restaurant with a gluten free option you know certain people aren’t great at doing anything that inconveniences them even a little.
You sound like a mouth breathing moron buddy. What if someone really cares about privacy? Apple has demonstrated over and over again they will work hard to safeguard users security and privacy - Google does not care about privacy at all, and they only care about security when it doesn’t conflict with their need to track and monetize you at the moment
Im equally likely to curb you if you use an iphone.
If all of you that judge people over their phone can get together and not fuck, would really be doing the human race a solid.
If you think calling all iPhone owners ignorant, you’re not actually offering a “fair balance”. You’re just being biased and disrespectful of people choices.
Guess that’s like those dating profiles that people post online once in a while where the woman demands a height, weight, and income before they even consider talking to a man. At least that’s up front and honest, even if it’s shallow.
I really don’t understand the social cache of an iPhone. It’s overpriced tech. I’d rather someone say right off the bat that they won’t talk to somebody who doesn’t have an iPhone. No need to deal with someone so superficial and interested in wasting money on shit specifically because they want it for showing off how much money they spent.

Meanwhile, there are Android phones that cost more than the iPhone Pro Max, whatever it’s called.
The difference is those phone bring it. S23 ultra smokes any I phone in terms of usability. I can imagine having an iPhone as my mobile office
iPhones are literally only usable as phones. Trying to do anything complicated with them is a nightmare. Back when I last had an iPhone you literally couldn’t even install a swipe keyboard.
iPhones are literally only usable as phones
Troll much?
That’s a pretty absurd take. The phone portion of the iPhone is probably the least used feature on my device.
No, they don’t let you customize them outside of what apple says you can do (one of the things I hate about apple is how restrictive they are because they assume customers are idiots and apple wants extreme control of its image, and customers like being treated like idiots), but they are pretty much as useful as any smart phone or tablet. There definitely are some caveats to that, but you need to be looking for pretty advanced tools before you run into barriers on iOS devices.
The advanced tools are why android is the only option for a mobile office. I really do wish there was more competition from Apple in the space. They make incredible products, they’re just corrupted by an absolutely ridiculous business model of wall gardens.
The fact that an app has to be on the Apple app store in order to be installable is what makes them useless to me.
They just don’t want to remember their own phone charger everytime you hangout.
USB-C: soon
Apple had a hand in developing the standard but then didn’t like it because it was open source. Ironic they’re forced to use it now.
Apple indoctrinated and hooked them into this mindset early in middle school with iMessage green bullying bubbles

I mean if your looking to date a high schooler this is probably a factor you’d consider. No one cares about your phone, at most just that you have one to be able to contact you.

Is this an American thing? I’ve never heard of this (in Canada).
What is “curved the perfect man”?

Men, do yourself a favor:
If you own an Android phone,
Wait at least three dates before using it in front of her.
I can’t even count on my both hands
How many stories I’ve heard from women
That curved the perfect man just because he had an android phone
That a good filter for shallow jerks
Let’s face it: If they were that superficial, they wouldn’t have dated me to begin with.
If they are that superficial, you dong want to date them. Use every effective “shitty person” filter you can, as quickly as you can.

Most superficial part of course
My dong will take whatever it can get
Lol, I’m leaving it
All my bitches use Signal
So your mom and sister?
