It's odd to me that my Pixel 7 Pro is worth less in trade-in value than iPhone 11.

I'm sure there are reasons, but it stings a little.

Getting access to the Apple ecosystem has inherent value that comes on top of the phones themselves.

Green bubbles can be worth a few hundred dollars. Or why some people keep a busted iPhone around just to manage the parental controls. Android doesn't have much of those restrictions or it applies less.

I'm sorry, but what? To whom? I have an incredibly hard time believing it's actually something which makes a concrete return on investment, but maybe I'm wrong and the world is even dumber than I thought.

I think they meant blue bubbles? Green bubbles are SMS.

My teammates for a university assignment let out an audible groan when they found out I was the only one on an Android. I do have an iPad, so thankfully I was able to maintain communication regarding our team project.
