This isn't a thing, especially when you can barely tell the difference by looking at the phone alone. It's going to be like 90% phone case, and most phones are practically very little bezel screens so you can't tell from the front.

Met a woman online, chatted a bit and she wanted to Facetime. Dumped me because I didn't have an Apple, couldn't use that app.

Sounds like a win for you.

If you take a second to look at something that appears superfluous like that you start to see the underlying hatred there. No free thought, fall in line square activity and cut out anyone who isn't of the arian race, I mean doesn't have a white phone. Sorry, typo.

(Obviously this comment is not meant to be taken literally, but yes I equated iPhone users to conservatives, while implying Android users would be independent free thinkers)

I use an Android phone because way back when smartphones first started to become available, iPhones were a ludicrously expensive £400 and I didn't have that kind of money so I bought an Android for £30.

I never switched to iPhone because there was never any point. I just don't get the point in buying an iPhone. They're not actually good phones and Apple doesn't know the meaning of the word innovation.

It literally is a thing, and while some cases obscure brand many dont. And no case changes the text bubble.

It's why Apple leaned into the notch. It makes the front recognizable
