IMHO the “blue bubble exceptionalism” is the elephant in the room.

I was thinking that this is mainly a US thing and then saw that the article talks about the US. Android is still more common in the rest of the world.
The article contradicts the unspecified headline in the first sentence: “It’s no secret that Android is the most-used operating system in the world, a title it first earned after surpassing Windows in 2017.”
Yeah we Americans miss out on a lot that the rest of the civilized world has…
Cute that you are including the US in the civilised world
I find it curious why this is downvoted?
IOS is a clear market leader overall in USA with 57% market share according to statcounter:

It’s not hard to imagine that could be even more for teenagers, that are more vulnerable about being socially left out.
And yes I too find that problematic, because Apple is a control freak company, that want’s to decide what you can do with your phone. Resulting in insanity early on, that you couldn’t buy the most popular newspapers in Denmark through the App store. Because they had content Apple didn’t agree with!!!
How the fuck that shitshow of a company ever became so popular is beyond me, no matter how “good” their claimed quality is.I don’t know, I used to use Nokia as teenager… Things tend to change quite radically over years
Not really, the disruption the iPhone caused is quite unique, and was in a somewhat immature market. As the market matures, things tend to settle to a more (semi) permanent state.
