Right, I don’t understand why these weird hacky services are making headlines. If you want to have a blue bubble, just buy an iPhone. They’re not actually THAT expensive, you can usually buy last year’s model for under $500 if you wait for a deal and you’re willing to commit to a carrier. Or if you really can’t afford that, you can get an older iPhone basically for free. Even a 3 year old model gets you a blue bubble.
Or, if you’re not an insecure child that gives in to peer pressure, get whatever phone you want.

Expense aside they’re simply worse products. Can’t choose what software to put on it. Can’t repair it. Can’t change your dialer or your SMS app. I mean the list goes on.
The vast majority of androids are worse for repairability. The ones that get more than a year or two of support don’t have any parts available. The ones that do get support have far worse physical restrictions like straight up gluing parts in.
The rest you mention, >99% of people don’t do anyway.
Honestly let’s have some dignity and not buy into this vapid pretentious idiocy.

But if you care, you can get a repairable phone like the Fairphone.
