Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry.

But other than that, I don’t hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

    That’s so weird to hear, but I guess it makes sense. I think I’ve heard people say that across the pond you never really had to pay for texts? Internet-based messengers really took off on phones because you’d have to pay 10p per text back in the day!

      Yeah back before most plans did “unlimited” data, many of the deals were for unlimited texts. I remember texts costing about that much at first then we moved my family to an unlimited texting plan and never thought much about it again

        I think that was the case here too, but even with limited data you can send pictures, videos, and attachments as well as have group chats, whereas SMS never evolved beyond text (and MMS probably still costs 50p a message to this day!)
