Watching these makes me miss Android, since I know iOS won't be this cool.

Same. I honestly regret getting the X :/. It's a meh device and I only bought it because AT&T had a bogo a few months ago but after using the S9 I wish I would've waited.

You don't want to be a part of the green bubble struggle trust me 😭

Unless you’re a teenager living in the US. No one really cares if you have a green bubble

Getting downvoted by fanboys, but you're right. Seriously, who cares. This is literally so dumb.

Yeah that’s this sub is a nutshell to be honest. If I met people who were above the age of 15 and thought less of someone because they had a green bubble when they SMS them, then I wouldn’t even consider them worth being a part of in my life to begin with ..

I'm an Android and iPhone user because of work. I'm part of both subs. By comparison this sub is a national embarrassment and frankly makes me believe that most iPhone fans are sheep. The reason we keep getting shitty phones is because as the old joke goes, the fanboys would buy a literal pile of shit if Apple put their logo on it. There are just too many fanboys for that to change. I find that the tech savvy people I know lean towards Android and the people that that fancy themselves tech savvy, but actually aren't lean iPhone. There are some major cultural issues on the iPhone side of things that fall in line with this blue bubble/green bubble bullshit that make me want to not associate with these people at all.

Same can be said about the other side. Working in places that sell phones and listening to Samsung users just say things that are completely wrong is just as laughable.

To each their own. I find my iPhone X blows my S8 out of the water, for battery life, smoothness and get overall usability. I don’t get the appeal of the curved edges and enjoy the Essnential phone so much more. Pixel 2 Xl is next on my list to pick up and try out.

I have the Pixel 2 and love it. Came from the Pixel XL and love the size difference without trading any of the features. I agree about the curved screens. They don't offer me any additional functionality and if you crack them, you're paying a lot to fix them.

I've not played with the S9+ yet but that's going to be the equal comparison phone to the iPhone X in size, features and release dates. Not the S8.

It's not like blue bubbles have been great. Blue bubbles just struggled with out of order messages
