87% of US teens. Here in Germany I see a big mix of devices in teenagers and grown ups hands and nobody seems to care about it.

Casually observed anecdotal evidence is even more worthless than a survey.

There are still enough people who are obnoxious about it, and most of them seem to be iPhone users interestingly

As an iPhone user who was not obnoxious about it I’ve seen a fair share of pushy android user in school. Then again so were the Xbox vs PlayStation kids. They’ll grow out of it.

One would hope. But there are two many adults who need to pick sides.

I still remember Apple’s ‘Mac vs. PC’ campaign and even then I thought it would just encourage (even more) elitism amongst Apple users…

They also always refer to it as “my iPhone”, never “my phone”, at least all the users I have met (NL). I find this very odd.

Yep. The popularity of iPhones in US doesn’t represent the rest of the world. iPhone users are the minority in Finland. No one is complaining about green chat bubbles because iPhone users have to use WhatsApp aswell.

I did ask my teen, who said that while the bubble color is fun to tease someone about, it really doesn’t matter since they’re more likely using SnapChat or some other app, rather than texting

It’s annoying that people have to use a Meta program.

Why? It’s easy to use, there’s no ads, has many features, etc.

Is it only because it’s owned by a big corp?
