“The one that really jumped out at me was this idea that parents don’t want to get their kids Android phones if they have Apple phones" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i'm sorry, but who came up with that, google? i can't even imagine parents with apples buying androids for their kids, nor vice versa. how silly.

i do agree that texting and other basic phone functions should of course be interoperable.

Yeah, I wouldn't get my kid something I am not personally well versed in. My parents learned that the hard way by failing to stay ahead of me in knowing how to use Windows, back when we had 98, and 2000, and Vista, etc. I'm grounded, you're locking the computer? Safe mode with networking it is, I'll print my pornographic images after they download in 10 minutes.

My mom just laughs anytime my kids misbehave. I guess I have it coming.

There are a lot more cheap Android options. I wouldn’t want to get a kid a pricey iPhone for their first smartphone.

My kids get my hand me downs.
