It's not just teens. You should see how many grown ass adults engage in this fanboyism. Women even post online about refusing to date men with an Android phone. This is all really just a manufactured social media marketing campaign. It's not new, my niece has been informing me for years how uncool my Android phone is, but it's in high gear right now because the new Apple and Android flagship phones are coming out next month.

Kids were always fucking stupid. You are just failing to remember how stupid you were as a kid. I remember how stupid I was.

Anyone thinking either of those operating systems are a suitable solution for mobile computing don't have a fully developed brain. If you can't compile at least a new kernel for your own phone, it's not your phone. If you can't disable all telemetry, it's not your phone. If you can't stop emergency services from forcing your phone from sending geo location data, it's not your phone.

No, what these teens have -- Android or iOS -- is a voluntary spy device. It would be hilarious if it were revealed in 50 years that the i actually stands for "eye", instead of I, and was invented by the CIA.
