iPhone or Bye Phone
In the Christmas to New Year dry season for news, the Tame Apple Press has made much of a story where a TikToker asked random women if they would refuse to date a perfect man if he had an Android.
The TikTok named Travjbarnett asked women in the real world and discovered that there were Apple fangirls who would not touch a guy if he had an Android phone.
The women were shown an identical picture of a good-looking bloke, and the only thing different was the phone he was carrying. Fangirls often thought the guy looked like a “10”, and the surveyor pointed out he was packing an Android, and they downgraded him to a three.
One woman suddenly found the guy “horrible.”
One woman moaned that their photos would not be compatible under the mistaken belief that Android screen density is around 720p or 480p, while the iPhone is about 1080p.
But another woman surveyed said it was not about technology but the fact that Android was a “sign of being poor.”
“Are you broke… How can you not afford an iPhone?’
Other responses included ‘he is a nerd’ and ‘I am not using WhatsApp.’
The answers align with a 2020 study that an iPhone, Apple Watch or even a pair of AirPods in your photos can boost the odds of a match by as much as 76 percent.
Most other brands, including Google, lowered the chances of someone swiping right.
It does sound like picking an Android phone and avoiding Apple fangirls is a good way to avoid a stupid gold-digging narcissist.
