    You a teen in the US?

    Saw a teen tell Tim Cook kids in his school were being bullied over not necessarily one hue vs. another shade but presumably the degraded functionality (simplified as “green bubbles”).

    Group chats are so huge - and including one non-Apple user means nobody gets bells & whistles.

    It’s absolutely ridiculous! But it’s hard to argue - it’s happening, making less money would stop it, but money matters more than kids.

        I just don’t think you and I are the people who see this stuff.

        When it comes to video games and violence, you have to try - try to draw lines.

        What kind of line needs to be drawn to deduce “who’s green?” is related to a feature?

        You said it yourself, group chats suck when Android users are involved. So Android users aren’t added to the class group chat and they miss out on sharing notes, events, and much of social interaction with their peers.
