I would change woman to a Long Term Relationship. Some apps/sites never struck me as a place to find a lasting relationship. Fortunately, I haven't needed them for over five years. And they never worked when I did use them. It was a mutual friend from high school that did the trick.If yer looking for a woman on tinder now we have a whole nother problem
Agreed, it's now Apples job to solve societal issues. Growing up lower middle class in the 90s in Toronto, I did not have Nike's or Air Jordans or Chicago Bulls jackets. Maybe more of our attention should be spent teaching our youth the long term pain that such behaviour causes.
Yeah. When you look at the stats we actually have a high percentage of iphone users. Always at least 50%. Latest stats say 52% but iMessage is just not a thing. Everyone is on WhatsApp. The only person I use iMessage with is my mum. All the other iphone users I communicate with it’s via WhatsApp.
I don't remember if it comes through as original size or not. I know it at least doesn't look pixelated on the device. I almost always send a pic by email at original if someone wants to print it.
iOS market share in the UK is 52.44%

This isn't true. iMessage and SMS text messaging are two different services. You may have meant to say the messages app, but iMessage is the proprietary Apple text messaging service.
Oh yeah, I get complaints about how images are terrible in Android SMS if sent from an iPhone. I believe it's because of the new Apple HEIC codec for their images. It doesn't display right on Android natively.
That's a thing?
The interesting dichotomy to me is the generational motives between younger and older iPhone users. Older iPhone users are the opposite of younger. They don’t care about brand as much as that it just works. The same cannot be said for android users (particularly Samsung) who go on and on about how great Samsung is and all their latest features like they’re trying to convert iPhone users. Apple users are not technically engaged and simply do not care. They just want something that works and brand happens to be Apple. Younger Apple users don’t care about the tech either but they seem to only care about brand to fit in with their tribe of friends.
Younger Americans prefer Apple over rival companies by significant margins, driving a generational shift toward Apple devices and social pressure, the Financial Times reports.
According to the report, younger consumers are concerned about being socially ostracised for not having an iPhone – a phenomenon that is driving young people to buy other Apple products and services, leading to growing market share across multiple product categories.
Those born after 1996, also known as Gen Z, compose 34 percent of all iPhone owners in the U.S., compared to just 10 percent for Samsung. For older generations, there is a relatively even split between iPhone and Android users. The ramifications of this shift toward Apple devices among younger people extends beyond iPhones, with these users being much more likely to purchase AirPods, Apple Watches, and Macs.
For every 100 iPhones Apple sells around the world, it also sells 26 iPads, 17 Apple Watches, and 35 pairs of AirPods, according to research by Canalys. For Samsung, every 100 smartphone sales leads to fewer than 11 tablets, six smartwatches, and six pairs of wireless earbuds being sold. This is in spite of the fact that the average selling price of an iPhone is almost three times that of an Android device.
Researchers who advise companies about the preferences of Gen Z consumers told the Financial Times that these customers are the most online of any age group, spending up to six hours a day on their smartphones. As a result, Apple's ecosystem is shaping social decision-making, with particular emphasis on the importance of iMessage as a social signal, necessitated by inferior experiences messaging and using group chats via SMS.
In Europe, where iMessage is less prevalent and Android has a bigger market share, the same trend is similarly visible. Canalys research indicates that 83 percent of Apple users in western Europe under 25 years old plan to keep using an iPhone. As Gen Z gets older, this trend is likely to grow and further entrench Apple's market share, making it increasingly difficult for rival companies to capture new customers and make inroads.

I like for two games. It's nice when there's no other resources to get a little guidance when you need it.
Here in Germany I know not a single person using iMessage. Everyone uses WhatsApp, because they can reach all people, not only the Apple user.
Us Gen X people are just fine. Thank you very much.
I really like this post! It reveals what I have suspected for years. This site has been infiltrated by Apple hating google lovers. They hangout here to throw hate towards Apple possibly paid by Samsung like they were caught doing a while back. Know I know who you are. Thanks
Add to that trusting that 3rd party app isn’t owned by or won’t get acquired by an untrustworthy individual or company that maybe fires the majority of the staff on a whim and leaves them vulnerable to attack and loss of your private data.
Indeed. This is the thing we need to be talking about. Not fanboying over this or that company.
Right-o! I love switching between platforms. They're both great, and life is too short to use the same OS for 10, 20, 30 years. Besides, it'd be a very bleak future if Apple was the sole company that ruled them all. You think they're bad with their nickel and diming now? Oh, boy. Tim Cook would have a field day if Apple was the only player in town.
