That is very interesting. Has he actually used an Android-Samsung telephone? I happen to have a Samsung Galaxie S7 (now out-of-date, I suppose), and have used an iPhone in the past. I do not very much care which I have, but changing from one to the other is a pain (learning or re-learning curve). I do not use most of the features my cell phone has, and leave it off entirely some days. Most of my friends have iPhones, though, and some no longer even use their computers anymore.

Yes. I use an older iPhone (8), but I also bought a cheap Android to use as a GPS on my motorbike and bicycle. The kid has messed around with the Android and did an “App Creators” class for Android at school. His friends have Android, so he wants Android.

I expect when my 8 dies I’ll go Android too. If enough folks do the same…

“Jocelyn Maher, a 24-year-old master’s student in upstate New York, said her friends and younger sister have mocked her for exchanging texts with potential paramours using Android phones. “I was like, Oh my gosh, his texts are green,’ and my sister literally went, Ew that’s gross,’” Ms. Maher said.”

Take the moats where we find 'em, I guess.
