    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 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?

    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.

    Do you feel offended the color is green?

    No, it's a status symbol. iPhone users 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.
