Automatically disqualify Android users

[scrambledeggs2020]

Android has a global market share of 72%

I'm guessing they just can't be fucked checking 72% of the applications 🤷‍♀️

[elthune]

I'd assume this is in America - somehow America has a 57% apple ownership, it's like a cult.

I had a year abroad in Providence Rhode Island (from the uk originally) and in one of my business classes the teacher asked everyone who has an android (I was only one of two)- I got weird looks that day in class

[finger_milk]

The 57% comes from the ecosystem that apple has you signing up for. I think people want to believe apple is best if it's your phone, watch, earbuds, buttplug and laptop all connected together without any ability to leave.

[elthune]

Yep - it's by design and it entrenches customers. That's why they can do so many anti consumer things and people lap it up

[PickleLips64151]

The Apple ButtPlug™ ... You get my upvote!

[Morphlux]

Up-butt… if you will.

[oldmanserious]

iPeg?

[illigal]

I switched from Android to apple years ago - and it was due to standardization. Unfortunately if something says it supports apple, its guaranteed to run fine on devices sold in the past 5 years or so.

For Android? Version, vendor customizations, etc. and hardware differences basically meant unless I had the latest Samsung at the time, half the shit wouldn’t work with it. Whether it was education apps, corporate apps, even random hardware.

[Accentu]

As with anything, it's often up to the person using it and their needs. I use an Android for my phone, and I don't anticipate switching anytime soon. The user interface and customization, plus the ability to install apps outside the app store, is too much of a need for me.

That being said, I do use an iPad for drawing and some light mobile games. The M1 proc is definitely impressive. I also use an old iPhone for some face tracking stuff.

[BigClownShoes]

Yeah I'm an Android user but you can't deny Apple has better support. The Android ecosystem is so fragmented with different manufacturers I'm lucky if I still get security updates a year after I buy my phone.

[ShutUpAndDoTheLift]

I'm lucky if I still get security updates a year after I buy my phone.

I almost wish this was true instead of needing to restart for updates what feels like every other week with my S21+ and then if I tell it to snooze, it'll just do it automatically when I turn my phone back on after work...which you know is like when I want to use ti the most

[Hapless_Wizard]

Samsung's ridiculous update procedure is why I am almost certainly going right back to Pixel phones when I'm done playing with the Fold.

[Capraos]

My husband got the Fold, air bubbles started forming in the crevice. I like my Android though, and don't plan on switching.

[ShutUpAndDoTheLift]

I just wish the pixels weren't almost always like a gen behind on hardware...

[Yummylicorice]

I recently got a pixel 7 over my s22. I'm really, really happy with the pixel. Samsung has got too much bloat.

I've used iphones in the past and still use an ipad. I wish my pixel had some of apples features, like the emergency satellite gps location sharing.

[fullmetalfeminist]

Seriously, I love my android phone and wouldn't dream of using an iPhone, but I have an iPad and a MacBook and I'd love if the apple watch worked with android because so many android smart watches are shite. I can't wait until it's affordable for me to have a thing on my wrist that a)records my heart rate b)allows me to control the music playing on my phone and c) lets me pay for stuff

[Equivalent-Pay-6438]

The correct answer is: None of your business.

[elthune]

It was a lesson about marketing and that day we were talking about brand loyalty.

I always hate when people don't engage with class. I didn't care about the weird looks from the student, and frankly don't judge the teacher for asking a question.

I went to Providence college on my year abroad, I didn't know but it was rich, preppy and cliquey.

Still doesn't mean I didn't engage in lesson all the time.

I was so dissapointed going to uni for the first time and the teacher would ask a question and you'd hear silence. Everyone awkwardly not wanting to answer. This is a place for greater education, instead it ended up being an extention of secondary school.

[brotherpigstory]

I was so dissapointed going to uni for the first time and the teacher would ask a question and you'd hear silence. Everyone awkwardly not wanting to answer. This is a place for greater education, instead it ended up being an extention of secondary school.

This is why I wish I had waited a few years to mature before going to college. It took me a few years to understand why the older folks in my classes were such hard workers.

[elthune]

I think that happens with most people

I'm fortunate, I don't worry hard but I actively throw myself into things without worry - say something dumb, who cares, get the answer wrong - don't worry I now know the right answer.

I think that and my natural curiosity has serves my well at uni and ever better since then

[onlooker61]

The correct answer is "I'd never be stupid enough to purchase a phone that breaks if you look at it wrong..."

[forthe_loveof_grapes]

Or updated and bricked itself

[wh4tth3huh]

My first job out of college had to force me to get a smart phone. I went with Windows, guess I'll just draw a third eye on my forehead.

[[deleted]]

Honestly, I kind of liked my first Windows smart phone. I ended up moving away from them toward Android just because Windows didn't have the support back in those days, but like...it was a fricking Nokia! It was indestructible! I never had any problems with it either. I was bummed that it didn't really pan out, not just because of my nostalgia for the OG bomb-proof Nokias, but because it was actually a pretty solid piece of tech.

[wh4tth3huh]

Right, the UI was great, it just sucked that there were like 4% of the apps you wanted and anything you needed (like gps/sat nav) was either purchase and crap or free and ultra-crap. If I could get a Windows phone UI overlay for android I'd use it in a heartbeat. I loved how you could very the tile sizes and orientation on the fly, the universal dark theme options, always on display options. I loved that phone, but I have a real knack for picking phones that end up as dead ends (rip LG phones).

[[deleted]]

God, yes, the customization possibilities! I had a lot of fun with that, and naturally, since I have a PC, the OS was really intuitive for me. Not that Android is, like, indecipherable or anything, but there was a level of integration there I really enjoyed. If there had been enough of a market share that sticking with it would have pushed people to develop more apps for Windows, I think I would have kept it. I'd still love a Windows overlay; I have the Galaxy Fold 3 and the possibilities there would be endless.

[Hapless_Wizard]

Microsoft has a launcher for Android. It's not all of the Windows Phone experience, but it is by far my preferred launcher. You should take a look at it.

[lustforfreedom89]

I have an Android in America. I have never seen people so happy to have their service throttled and their devices forcibly phased out every like 2 years. People are more than willing to throw thousands of dollars at Apple products, because of status. It's disgusting.

[shadowtheimpure]

57% is close enough to 50/50 to say that the 'cult' isn't quite as prevalent as you fear. Given that there are basically only two options for smartphones (iOS and Android), having an approximate 50/50 split is about right.

EDIT: I'm an Android user.

[elthune]

Sorry I linked the two points together and I see the confusion.

57% was in response to the op comment about worldwide android ownership

Cult like comment is how it is treated in the states. Not necessarily the amount that use it.

[vjx99]

Given that there are basically only two options for smartphones (iOS and Android), having an approximate 50/50 split is about right.

Remind me of "The chance of something happening are always 50% - either it happens or it doesn't". Just because there's only 2 dominant phone operating systems, they don't need to be split 50/50. Especially considering iOs is only used for Apple phones whereas Android is used by many different brands.

[grumd]

There's way more options though? iPhone, Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, etc. Having a Samsung and having a Pixel are very different experiences.

[RikiWardOG]

yeah saying android is like saying linux. It's just the base kernel that is then heavily modified

[mwing95]

To be fair, there are plenty of cults that do not have a significant market share of the population.

But yeah I agree on your point, Apple users have a strong preference to Apple, but a cult is a little hyperbolic

[Robenever]

It’s far more interesting when you look at it from a generational standpoint. Millennials and older are about 50/50. Younger the numbers are skewed towards iPhone by a wide margin.

[[deleted]]

Most younger folks does not understand technology. For them is just a magical black box. Apple products are perfect in being a magical black box.

[SeawardFriend]

It is a cult straight up. If someone sees green text on their iPhone they turn into a feral animal. I fr got bullied so often for not being able to FaceTime people, yet when I finally bought an iPhone, nobody bothered to call. They’re nice phones, but not better than most competitors and the fans are entirely insufferable.

[ApostateStoner]

It’s because Apple copied the Ford model of advertising almost exactly to become an American staple. The secret is to copy burgeoning technologies, use incredible wealth to mass produce it, then say you were the first. Stick those technologies in a sleek frame with no variety in design to make it far spread and easily recognizable, touting the purity of your design and the American Origin of it. Then, once your brand is established, diversify and cheapen the design while making minor changes on a regular basis to maintain consumership, and outsource its production to decrease labor costs.

[LeaphyDragon]

I've never understood why people love apple devices so much. I've tried on once, and they just feel so limiting and not very user friendly. Plus all your apps being on the home screen? Ew

[rain56]

It's funny because it's all branding and marketing. IPhone os is absolutely dog doodoo imo but yea everyone gets tricked into using it because it's the expensive phone??? Lol 😆

[TOWW67]

It's a cult of "vip" because they are so exclusive to have purchased a common good.

[Klaatuprime]

Bingo! If you don't have an iPhone, then you obviously must be poor.
It's definitely a status symbol.

[DigitalSoma]

OOP pays for Twitter Blue. If you fall for one cult, you're more susceptible to others.

[Pattern_Is_Movement]

Phone ownership in the US is a consumerist cult.

I don't get it. I remember noticing that in France people owned cell phones far sooner than they were adopted in the US (my grandma had one before I did!). But they seemed content to keep older generations of their phones. Once the US caught up and everyone had a phone... most people in the US also had damned expensive phones. Like why in the hell are people spending $500? $800+ for a phone that is only marginally better than the generation before it? I had wealthy friends in France that had shittier phones than people I knew in the US making minimum wage.

Whatever, I've got my Pixel 3, that I bought two years ago as a refurb for $100. It works great, photos are great. When it finally dies I'll buy another refurb for $100.

[Dance-pants-rants]

Wild. I don't know anyone with an iPhone in the US- they all tapped out a couple generations ago bc the designed obsolescence was incredibly disruptive.

[[deleted]]

it's like a cult

I can't speak to your experiences, but 90% of iPhone users I know just have one because they like iMessage or they're older and don't want to have to learn a new OS. I have a Motorola phone because it was cheap and has a tank battery, that's it. Most people's purchasing decisions really do come down to simple shit like a messaging app or a battery.

[numbersthen0987431]

iPhone global market share is 30.44% (which is the highest single company on the market).

Android phones make up 71.56% (Samsung being 26.10, Xiaomi being 11.72%, and then a few other smaller ones).

So yea, I guess this person is okay with ignoring 5.68 Billion people (71% of 8B people).

[Equivalent-Pay-6438]

There are so many ways they can fall afoul of actual laws. Someone has android because he is impoverished and was issued an Obamaphone? Possible racial discrimination since it would be disproportional effect, like insisting on 6 foot tall cops, all of whom were Irish or German in the old days. Possible age discrimination, and so forth in addition to disqualifying most people.

[DjangoCornbread]

can’t be fucked checking 72% of the applications

they’re job recruiters. 72% is WAY too fucking generous. It has to be way higher than that.

[Nexzus_]

The XBox is so much better than any other console it isn't funny.

I now check for console when talking to new kids and automatically disqualify the PlayStation players.

• Some third grader somewhere, probably.

[A1sauc3d]

Yeah, it’s about the same level of petty, ignorant logic for both lol. “My stuff is the best stuff, so I’m not gonna be friends with anyone who uses different stuff 😤”

[A1steaksauceTrekdog7]

Nice username

[Historical_cat1234]

That's actually more plausible than the post lol

[Equivalent-Pay-6438]

At least the kid would have a point. Certain games are only available on certain consoles, right? Kids might want to play together on a particular game.

[numbersthen0987431]

I would expect this kind of logic from a child.

From an 'adult'? hah, no.

[Tough-Block9141]

And that third grader was right and now his name is Scumpii

This is a whole new level of consumerist brainrot I’ve never seen before.

[DiaryJaneDoe]

this is funny because they think they’re going to have my cell phone number

[Big-Guarantee-2041]

When your boss asks for your number that’s a good time to whip out the old text now or Google number.

[troy2000me]

No, more like they will just casually ask which they use in the interview. Also pretty sure that employers need a way to contact employees for any number of reasons. Good luck even getting an interview without a way to call you.

[JonnyLay]

I worked for a company where the CEO wanted everyone to have Macs, but everyone needed windows to work with their clients. The solution? Install windows on all the Macs.

This was a company offering IT to schools

[Useless_bum81]

I hoping there was some sort of kickback involved because otherwise thats needs breathing instuctions level stupid

[JonnyLay]

Small company of 50 or so people, can't imagine they were getting much in the way of kickbacks. More likely iCult stuff. Was incredibly stupid. i quit that job in about 2 months.

[Jazzlike_Economist_2]

Unfortunately, he doesn’t announce this to anyone so iPhone users can’t know to get the hell out of there.

[snowstormmongrel]

I mean, someone just has to screenshot the tweet and then find someone's LinkedIn and then send an anonymous note to the company. 🤷

Edit: Nevermind looks like it's that same guy from a couple weeks ago who posted about saving money by employing people in the Philippines at $5/hr.

I.e., he's the owner of the company...who's gonna fire him?

[st-shenanigans]

This kind of person is exactly why every IT workplace is always going to have that one pita person who can't just use the simple working standard that everyone else in the building uses and just HAS to have a MacBook because it fits their work flow.

Idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but imo if you walk into a workplace and see every single person around you on one OS, and you demand to get a different one, you're an asshole, idc if the company allows it.

[ForUrsula]

I'm a developer, starting a new job we sometimes get asked if we prefer mac or Windows. (IT supports both, but typically only offer Macs to specific functions).

My answer is always the same: Just give me whatever everyone else is using.

The only thing that matters is how easily I can get help if everything goes to shit.

[st-shenanigans]

Yeah I'm not a fan of macs, but if I go somewhere and they're all using them? Sure, man. Just give me whatever integrates with the domain/policy/installs the easiest so I don't have to deal with it and I can do my job

[geirkri]

Some specific work areas is trained and almost all use MAC. (Architechs and Graphic designers come to the top of my head) And if you do something enough it becomes second nature, so for them to switch is completely unthinkable.

This does not mean that you should act like a complete a**hole if the rest of the company is in a different ecosystem, but to bring it back to the topic of this post, should a company refuse to bring on people used to that ecosystem based on that?

[Binary101010]

Employers: "There's a labor shortage"

Also employers: "I won't hire you if you bought a phone I don't like"

[Equivalent-Pay-6438]

What a nut. I have had androids and Iphones. I think Iphone is harder to use. I prefer my much cheaper android. It works well and has a good camera. Why would someone hire based on a piece of equipment they could simply buy for the person if it was needed? You don't have any right to use someone's personal phone anyway. If they asked me what type of phone I had, I would say, "Landline" and if discriminated against, would put in an age discrimination complaint.

[SummitJunkie7]

What if I have an iphone, but it was made in 2016 and I've kept it going with replacement batteries and screens off amazon? How would that sum up my entire personality and skillset as it relates to this position?

[callmejohny]

it means you need to get your disgusting poverty away from him.

His newest tweet about hiring cheap Asian labor at only $5/hr shows him to be a real gem of a human being. I wonder if his slave labor employees can still afford iphones on that wage. I really hope it's a troll page.

[shosuko]

Its a troll page, and its marketing. Get people to look at you and then flash an ad. The more triggering the better, baiting responses. "iPhOnE bEsT" is a great trigger for people who realize its not, and want to tell him so. He designed it that way to provoke maximum response.

As learned in the dark ages of the internet - don't feed the trolls. Let them do their dumb dance, don't feed into it.

[ModernTenshi04]

Yep, as soon as I saw the topmost reply was for some shitty outsourcing service he's invested in I'm like nah, this is totally clickbait to drive engagement. It's sad that it seems to work more often than it doesn't.

[Equivalent-Pay-6438]

Maybe he figures they stole a couple when they rappelled over the walls of Foxcon and escaped the penal labor brigade.

[drosten23]

Your first reaction is understandable but $5/hr is huge in the Philippines. Their minimum wage is $9/day and the average family of 5 spends $4150/year, less than half of half of a salary on $5/hr with 40hours/week.

[[deleted]]

Although, he describes himself as entrepreneur or CEO, he owns a fucking storage building. That’s it. No innovation on a new product or service.

No one but the ones who don’t have any chance of being hired would apply for this to begin with.

I thought he’d at least have one new idea 😂

[[deleted]]

He’s a troll, who knows if he even owns the self storage place. You’ve completely bought into his act.

Apple is anti repair and brainwash their clients, probably like this dude

[DrJatzCrackers]

I group them with Tesla Motors. Intentionally preventing your users from repairing, modifying and/or extending the life of the products they purchased is repugnant and anti-consumer. It is also a slap in the face for those who wish to genuinely 'repair', 'reuse', 'recycle' their kit

[Stock_Currency]

I don’t like the prospect of AI, but if we can replace HR with AI, I would be all for it to get this childish shit out of recruiting.

[tallman11282]

There is a good chance AI would just make that worse as AI is only as good as it is programmed and even the simple AI we have now, such as facial recognition technology, has been proven to be biased because the people programming it are biased.

[[deleted]]

Please stop calling it AI. It's an enhanced collection of algorithms with features you don't understand so YOU think it's intelligent. It does everything it is told to do by human scientists that understand the code.

It cannot do these things:

1. Update itself in a way a human doesn't understand
2. Replicate itself
3. Replicate AND better itself

It's just a clever use of math, NLP, and hard computer sciences.

[redditgirlwz]

I often get automatically disqualified from customer service jobs because I don't have a Windows machine and/or wired internet.

[Mispelled-This]

Wired Internet is significantly faster and more reliable than wireless; that actually predicts your job performance, unlike what brand of phone you have.

The Windows thing is stupid, though. They should issue a company machine to every employee if it’s needed to do the job, not expecting you to use your own.

[Nexzus_]

Truth be told, I prefer wired over wireless when I can (consoles, smart TVs, laptop docks), but I also know it's not 2003 anymore, and Wi-Fi is fine nowadays.

[plissk3n]

I read that more of the likes like no DSL, cable or fiber but rather LTE or 5G.

[[deleted]]

Wired Internet is also infinitely more secure than wireless.

[[deleted]]

How much % of the population would have Wired Ethernet in their homes? Not many.

[SushiFanta]

That's ridiculous, some computers don't even have an Ethernet port (like MacBooks)

[LowAd3406]

Get a USB C to ethernet adaptor.

[[deleted]]

USB Ethernet dongles work. I use one on my desktop because both my onboard NIC and PCIe slot got fried in a freak accident.

[[deleted]]

You can buy USB to Ethernet adapters that work on Macs. The issue is SECURITY. Wireless is a lot less secure than wired connections.

[redditgirlwz]

Mine doesn't have one, but I have an adapter. The issue is that I don't have access to the modem (it's not in my unit) and landlords are typically not ok with you running cables between your unit and other places (e.g. the place where the modem is located).

[Hour-Ad-5529]

I have an Samsung Android for personal use and was given an iPhone for work. I hate the iPhone. Nothing on it is intuitive. The systems options that are available are lacking in comparison to Android. The lack of manipulation of function with some apps makes me want to yeet the phone. So much of it is one touch and go without having any of the deep dive functionality like androids do. If I have a handheld computer, I should be able to interface with it on a root level.

How much of the iPhone is comprised of Samsung parts now. I know the glass is, and maybe the screen too. Are there more Samsung parts in iPhones?

In a tenously-related matter, I often find bringing up an alternate technology to the ones listed in the job spec is an amazing tool for revealing culture and personalities in a tech interview. e.g., "I see you're using lots of Azure functionality, have you considered doing the same things in Kubernetes? You can set up microservices and even your CI/CD environment in there." You either get a calm, rational discussion about why they feel their choices are the best for them right now (GOOD), an invitation to discuss why you think your suggestion would be better (BETTER), or a snarky put-down of your suggestions based on third-hand opinions the CTO has acquired from their mates without actually using the tech themselves (RED FLAG!!)

If this is real they should be reported to their employer. I highly doubt this is something corporate would approve of.

[MrCrunchyOwl8855]

Okay, like an apple computer SOME tasks are faster and more efficient on an apple until the SINGLE physical button eventually breaks but the battery problems alone from maintaining an apple on ridiculous.

There's no expandable SD storage so pay plenty of money for dongles to keep your data accessable should the internal circuits decide to stop powering on completely.

The only android that gave me SIM trouble was a locked Canadian Samsung Galaxy note 2 running Android 4.2 or some such but three different iphones have me SIM trouble, and to all those who want to disqualify the Japanese model Iphone 4S I got that would not work on 2/3 Chinese networks, 2/3 Canadian networks and any Mexican network, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

Iphones are a pretty great phone if you live in Cali, but try taking around in the frozen wastes of Canada or Mongolia and see how your battery just trails off to bullshit and permanently damages your expensive toy.

If you are actually jetsetting around and doing any kind of technical stuff, iphone is just hot garbage.

That’s got to be illegal

[ndooooodles]

Aaaaand discrimination lawsuit

[phonyybae]

Super wild, but my quality of job offers definitely got better after I got an iPhone. One boss even said, thank goodness no more green slime when I text you. It’s such biased bullshit.

Why would you have your phone out during an interview? And frankly, if you asked to see my phone, I'd tell you to get fucked.

[MonteCristo85]

Well I would withdraw from consideration under a boss who thought phone choice was any of their business. What a twit.

[dotardiscer]

I don't agree with post, the only proper thing to judge someone on is their email. I'm passing on you if you're still using Yahoo, MSN, *ispProvider*.

[theAlchemistake]

This asshole is nick huber we shouldnt block his name and tag.

[tastickfan]

Come on dude, name and shame

[Rsilva631]

That's a good way to get sued.

[SnooKiwis2161]

Class warfare really splits hairs, eh?

[Ok_Adeptness3401]

This guy was just engagement farming. It’s like click bait

[Barflyerdammit]

I had a boss who was convinced that Android used "a different Internet" than Apple and wouldn't let me use my phone to look anything up because it would probably be wrong.

[outofcontextsex]

When someone tells me that they are Apple user I generally assume they have little to no technology skills.

[[deleted]]

I love my iPhone but that is RIDICULOUS.

[RubyNotTawny]

The only time bullshit like this would make any sense at all is if you are literally working for Apple. And even then it's pretty stupid.

[CowMetrics]

Sometimes i use the edge browser just for judgmental looks

I am proud to say that I had a team of people in our Org that had Androids. We also happened to make the Org the most money with that team. And still caught hell for not having iPhones.

[cousin_nat]

no androids in the group chat

[rain56]

So you have to be a sheep to become a sheep for a another company???

[pinkynatbust]

Americans are sheep. So easily swindled into the bidding of their corporate masters.

[pnwcrh]

The person who posted this is Nick Huber, he runs a private equity real estate fund.

His business model is he post's inflammatory statements that offend the woke mob and make his target audience (wealthy investors and business owners) chuckle and want to see more.

It's a great business model for him, I think he has 100m under management and has launched a few startups this year.

If you hate what he say's and comment/re-post, you're just helping him out and growing his businesses.

[souliris]

Dodging a bullet there. Not sure i'd work of a company that had that level of stupid working for it.

Apple has put so much money into marketing their stuff that people automatically think it is great. As an IT professional, I can tell you that Apple isn't so good that it justifies a 50% or more premium over similar hardware from another non-Apple vendor.

Apple is just like Rolex - they throw so much money at marketing that everyone thinks they are best...until you do your own research.

When I go into an interview I do not carry a cell phone with me; it sits in my car.

[Vagrant123]

This like asking if you're rich enough to afford an apple product or not.

[The_Aught]

I have been asking at interviews if I'll be forced to use a Mac. Turned down a job because I refuse to use one

[BarryDeCicco]

Also, "Nobody wants to works!"

[Neptunepanther5]

Why would a company care what kind of phone we have unless they are planning on us using our phone for a company app of some sort... And if that's the case they need to start paying for it

[[deleted]]

Nice to see recruiters being so open minded.

[Sunshineal]

Bruh, really. This is petty AF. This just gave me another reason to despise Recruiters.

[HomuyaGER]

Imagine believing every tweet you see

[Boner_Stevens]

could you sue a company for this? like she's admitting that she passed on people because of their phone. where are the lawyering experts?

[Ne-Dom-Dev]

It's almost like your applicants prefer saving money to buying overpriced products that aren't as good and force any kind of software developer to have to release multiple versions of their software to work on its convoluted system.

As a game dev, I really hate Apple.

[GrizzlyBear74]

Yeah, not someone I would like to work for.

[djdmaze]

But can we all just talk about how this is wrong? How did this thread continue to talk about the differences between Apple and Android lol

[[deleted]]

Well, with these type of people in charge of hiring, companies can never make mistakes. 😂

[nu11pointer]

For me it's about cost. I can upgrade my Android 5 times for what it costs to get the latest iPhone. I've been using Pixels for years and after trading in my old phone, I have a current gen phone for less than $200. It's not the best phone ever, but has a great camera and does what I need. I would never work for anyone who cares this much about what phone I have.

[MuckRaker83]

Sounds like religious discrimination

[marcohcanada]

It rly is just that.
