For one, teenagers are ostracized and excluded from their friend groups because of what OS they're using in group texts. It's insane, but there it is.


It's most likely too late to save the USA teen population from smartphone homogeneity - from 2022's https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/01/06/gen-z-survey-says...:

"Analyst firm Piper Sandler's approximately twice yearly survey of teenagers in America shows that iPhone ownership is up 1% to 87% since its last report. At the same time, the new figures claim 88% of teenagers say their next phone will be an iPhone, which is down 1% from the last report."

from my informal poll of young relatives in past years, females were typically iPhone users and males were more likely to own Androids. I guess peer pressure was too great to fight the supposed Android benefits.

But, hey, Apple doesn't have a monopoly in smartphones, right? so Apple doesn't need to be forced to play nice with anyone...
