    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.

      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.

        same here, hearing about green chat hate was completely bonkers to me.

        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

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

        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.

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