iPhone is dominant in the US, but I can't believe people give enough of a shit about which smartphone someone uses for it to be a dealbreaker in finding a significant other.

Oh they definitely do, especially among young people. They even get bullied over the color of the iMessage text bubble which shows up in different color if the message was sent from a phone other than iPhone.

Well then, this might just be a good way to filter out dipshits.

I blame dating sites to be honest.

For a large portion of women they can have almost anyone at the push of a button and so they start rejecting people for the most absurd things.

I imagine the same could be said for the "chads" on dating sites, but I think they care more about the pump and dump than being superficial about anything because they aren't in it for a relationship.

Then there is me, a literal joke of a human. My phone would probably be the last thing I'd get rejected for as you won't even get that far before swiping "not ever." Lol
