Apple Users only. Responses are not necessarily indicative of how the respondents will actually behave in real life.

That's the case with any response anyone gives under almost all life contexts...

Not necessarily, but it is a particular potential flaw in surveys regarding private and intimate subjects, or those affecting social status or self-perception.
Honestly I find most studies based solely on self-reported data worthless.

What people say they’ll do/buy is often only loosely correlated with what actually happens.

See:

-YouTube thumbnail controversy, vs what people actually click on

-/r/apple and other comment section’s obsession with the commercially-failed mini lineup of iPhones

-everyone says ads don’t work on them, but ads work

I could go on

Yes we all know Apple users only care about one thing... the next I product /s
Would you date a non Apple user? Perhaps someone who doesn’t even have a phone?
Eww, dating a green bubble is gross.
Lol، i hope this is satire.
Cant speak for OP specifically, but in general, it’s not..
I know how crazy it is in America, but I think at leat the HN crowd wouldn't be participating in that madness.

If you are disparate enough, you can use a matrix bridge to get blue bubbles from anywhere
