Sounds like they have pretty realistic expectations

No way that's true.

They have been doing that same survey for years..

TheLost

The survey was conducted via iMessage

Android phones are way more popular than that

Every teen with an Android i know... wishes they had an iPhone.

My teens randomly told me the other day: Thank you for having us be an iOS family. It was unsolicited. No teens want

Not out east. Only people I know w/ Androids are people who just moved here

Did they perform their survey inside an Apple store?

This is a great article on the phenomenon I posted before. My kids are on Android and the pressure to get an iPhone is

The attempt to build a unified messaging app on Android (using RCS) died..

TheLost

4/15/21 8:43am

I was devastated to hear I won't be getting emojis anytime soon. But yes, Android native messaging is a mess.

CSoul

4/15/21 8:46am

It gives Apple no incentive to support RCS.. iMessage holds power for apple.

TheLost

4/15/21 8:50am

Totally agree. iMessage is literally the key to Apple's fortune. They would be a shadow of the company without it.

Google has... Messages.

T-mobile is now making it default. Assumption is others will follow now. Probably will fail again though.

We have a text thread with my 12 golf travel buddies, and a couple guys have androids

I promise you it's more annoying in the other direction when you emoji your messages like a teen girl

CSoul

4/15/21 8:32am

I wouldn’t include them in the group message

TCuz

4/15/21 8:38am

You’re choosing your friends based on Apple not knowing how to play nice?

Corn Pop

4/15/21 8:40am

We had one friend excluded from the group chat cause he was on Android. He switched.

TCuz

Suckers born every minute, I guess.

Corn Pop

Bad friends.

Yah he was, but he switched to join us, so he’s alright now.

I would be devastated

Sounds dumb.

Except 99.999% of "texting" teens do is through snapchat

BYUMizzou

4/15/21 9:05am

That's also true. I recently looked at "text" usage and it was low for 2 of my teens but a 3rd it was still high.

Pete

4/15/21 9:12am

Yes, I'm an android guy, but my current teens who are still at home have iphones

BYUMizzou

4/15/21 9:38am

And to take it one step further, I went and looked at the detail on the 31 text

BYUMizzou

4/15/21 9:47am

That's way too high. In my area a few snap but not most. Also, we don't allow

Baron

Snapchat is the primary medium of communication for all the teens I know.

BYUMizzou

4/15/21 9:40am

Lots of bad parents. More boobs have been seen on snapchat than any other app.

Baron

4/15/21 9:41am

It's a combo of Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram. I would guess over 90% of teens time are spent on those three.

Apps will come and go... but Apple has been the counter-culture since the 80's.

Fact: Utes and rapists prefer iphones.

If it was just a status symbol, my kids wouldn't have them.
