THE CULT IS ALIVE: Switching from Android to iPhone exposed my friends’ real feelings.
Surely, I thought, we’d moved past whether someone’s a “green bubble” or a “blue bubble” in a text message. But then after I started using my new iPhone, the following messages started coming in from several friends:
“I’m so happy you are blue now!!!”
“Bienvenue a la Club Apple!”
“It’s about time.”
These are all actual statements, whether through texting or in person, that friends being made aware of my switch have made to me… and I simply do not understand why.
I’m not surprised.
