You know, people mention the status thing, and I keep thinking "I've never once ever heard or read someone even remotely implying that (except super obvious trolling). Who the hell is actually saying this? Sounds like something people just say about 'fanboys'".
But being a thing with kids makes sense. Especially how little I care about what they think.
I've heard it, I have Millenial and much younger family members, and it's a real thing.
Kids/young adults are horribly status conscious, and since SMS really breaks iMessage conversations, they'll sometimes leave out people who don't have iMessage rather than deal with the downgrade.
It's crappy, it's juvenile, but it happens plenty... Just like the dumb, juvenile stuff we did when we were... juveniles
Am millennial. Wtf people are dumb.
