You’re telling me that a young teen picks an iPhone because of their quality and longevity? Like they researched it? Lol. For real?

And even apple knows that the color of the chat bubbles matters and it how it locks people (teens) into the ecosystem. It’s also the reason they will not open up iMessages to Android. It’s a fact.

The majority of buyers is not young. You’re not wrong that they care about the bubble etc, but the buying power is with the 20-40 year old people, not teenagers.

Not sure what you’re referring to with “buying power” but that age group would be the parents of those teens. So even if they are paying they would be buying the devices the teens wanted.

You’re very wrong about the color of the chat bubble. It’s the main reason for Google to push Apple to adopt a standard because they’re losing so many users to Apple because of iMessage.

I doubt it. People buy them because of their reputation and because their friends have them too. Especially in the US.

I bet your typical iPhone used doesn't even know what resolution their display is.
