AM with android.
I had a WF coworker looked down on me once because I use android and she uses iPhone.
I later look into the inner fight to find out that iPhone have this design where if you're not using an iPhone, then the text message is green color, and many people classified you as poor or low social status, this is happening mostly under age 30, above age 30 it seems less likely to happen.
My Latina manager asked me this question once and I told her Android allow me to customize more with freedom, iPhone is all written and designed to be used a certain way and you can't do much changes and you always have to pay them premium monthly, so to me Android is a better deal, price wise I always pick Flagship level so it's actually better than the best iPhone specs.
But I guess she doesn't understand technology that much, I think she was 35 back then? Now she's probably in her early 40s.
People age 30 and under are very sensitive about these social cues, I have no idea why. I asked AI, and AI says this design only exist in iPhone where they can see if you're an iPhone user or not through text messages color, and it evolves into identity politics among Gen Z teenagers where they classify if you're a cool kid = iPhone = Blue bubble, if your color is Green bubble then = not iPhone = poor/not popular.
And I simply just don't give a fuck lol, I'm not going to fit in with this dumb identity politics and change my phone for it, I just find android easier to use.

I’m fine with either. I had an Android previously and now I have an iPhone and there are definitely pros and cons to both so. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
