MODERATORS
In high school, they absolutely do.
Like, the epitome of the high school experience is social peer pressure about dumb shit.
And this can have a huge effect on the market in 5 years time.
this must be a us thing, I'd say over half the people have in Ireland have iPhones but nobody cares really, if anything my custom rommed Poco f3 has gotten a bit of interest from a few friends
Same. I mean I haven't been to highschool in a little over ten years, so I can't say what kids are using these days. But here in Australia, none of us really cares about what phone you have. Though I think most of us were Samsung users.
Wouldn't it make a lot more sense for the article title to specify it's specifically about the US, then? The US is the only country that doesn't do this and it's really annoying when just browsing (especially since lemmy.world is hosted by a Dutch individual using software made by Europeans).
Your "suggestion" is far more condescending.
I feel like most non-Americans understand that not everything is about them.
It's the Americans that need to learn that not everything is about them. (Not saying that you don't, but there's way too many Americans I talk to who think that the world revolves around them).
Here in Canada from what I've seen at my school at least 85% of students have an iPhone. I have been the only person in multiple classes to have an Android phone.
as a high schooler (outside of america) my friends mostly have androids, I'm not saying they are better, just saying that they are more common
I'll tell you a secret...
All the phones suck. Some more than others.
God, the memories you just unlocked
There was this one guy at school who one day rocked up with his new Windows Phone, that was the cool, new thing then.
When I came up to him and told him he wasn't going to be the only one with a 4" Amoled screen, he was devastated
Man, we were stupid
