I get bullied about having a Pixel as a 30 year old by all my close friends. No one wants the green bubble. At 12, fitting in is a big thing. Sometimes some things are worth adjusting for.

I do lightly bully my best friend of 20 years for going with an android because our picture quality is abysmal though...
I bully iPhone users with their inferior photo quality, inferior hackability, battery life.

Just to balance things out.

> battery life

The iPhones battery life has been amazing since the 11

Bullying isn't logical.
Media messaging from Apple to android is a disaster. Experience is terrible I don’t see how a 12 year old would overcome that
To be fair, this isn't an Android problem as much as it is a carrier problem.

There's technically no reason they can't pass through the raw media sent by MMS, but as a result of lack of engineering talent, cutting corners and technical debt, it is mangled and recompressed to potato quality before being delivered.

This problem would also affect iPhones that don't use iMessage.
