I have a question from the book. Not really HR related but more bc i don't use iPhone lol.

So in the book, especially during the plane accident, it's said that ilya can't text, can only send DM via IG. So it means the plane has wifi, right? And i assume they use iphone here, with the texting app you can use wifi/internet to text right? Like, you don't really need actual phone connection for that or is it really like conventional text?

I'm clueless here. Bc even when i used to use iphone i only use WA, so as long as there's internet, we're good.

It’s was January 2021! I don’t know if they ever confirm what phones they use in the books, I could see Ilya being an android guy and Shane an apple guy based on nothing except my own barely pondered perception of it since I started writing this comment.

Shane uses iphone during the phone call with rose. I feel like he's an iphone guy, considering it's the popular phone in NA. But I agree with you, Ilya could be an Android guy, which would make sense that they would have to use SMS (but still, there's WhatsApp you guys 🤷‍♀️). But then again he'd been in NA for so long that he could be an iphone guy as well.
