    I’m 39 and not even so old I use native messaging and telephony styled services. Hell, not even my dad does.

    Did the kids in your school grow up in the 80s or is stuff like iMessage making a comeback because it’s retrocool?

      Kids think iPhones are cool for a good reason. If a fifth grade kid has an android, it’s probably a cheap one. There are no cheap iPhones.

      Sure, Pixels are better than iPhones straight up. But who the fuck is buying their kid the latest Pixel?

      So cool (read: spoiled) kids have iPhones. The others start on cheap androids. That stigma sticks around at least awhile.
