Interesting figure that comes out of the article: 87% of US teens prefer iPhones. Also the explanations given aren’t quite surprising, I guess it’s mostly because of iMessage. Teens will feel like outcasts if they get an Android phone while their friends still use iMessage because of the green bubbles.

It’s actually hilarious how we allowed consumerism to take us this far and that we have now peer pressure over smartphones.

    Exactly. But that’s the issue with everything these days.

    People look down on you for all manner of things. Car clothes hair dog, job accent speech everything.

    Vain is thy name. Get a grip of your life. Nobody should care.

    If I don’t infringe on your life then what I do should have no impact upon yours.
