lol this author. Android users are they ones who need to celebrate.

[–] Zanz@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago (5 children)

So long as the green bubble still exist there's no reason for Android users to celebrate either. I had to change to iPhone because it was costing me job opportunities. And I won't be able to switch back until the green bundle is gone. Apple knows this so without legal action they're never going to end that.

I highly doubt that. I've never had to text during the interview process, everything was over calls, email, or wherever hiring platform they used. Texting in an interview process is kinda weird...

Are you applying to work for petulant teenagers?

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I was about to say the same, but then I remembered that I'm ignoring any business that use WhatsApp or Instagram as their sole means of communication. Fuck yeah I'm a petulant teenager, it's their loss, not mine.

Do you feel offended the color is green?

[–] Eiim@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

No, it's a status symbol. iPhone users look down upon the green bubbles, or so they say.

No, it’s a status symbol. Children with iPhones look down upon the green bubbles, or so they say.

What status? The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is $220 more than the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The low end iPhone is $429. Yes the low end Samsung is $199, but its performance is far below the SE. The closest match is the S23 FE, starting at $629.

Any feelings the blue bubbles have about the green bubbles is purely the humor of the angry green bubble making themselves feel inferior… because the blue bubbles don’t ever think about it.

I assume you're in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they'd go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?

[–] Zanz@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago

From what I understand they wanted their group chat to keep working properly. I would have been issued a work iPhone since it's what I had working as a contingent worker with them so I do not understand.

What is a green bubble?

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

More proof that people below the age of 16 should never have been given smart phones.

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

People with a *mental age below 16

[–] Spider89@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

When you receive MMS text on an Iphone, it makes the background text green instead of blue.

[–] Miaou@jlai.lu 0 points 3 months ago

Why?
