I honestly don’t understand why people are getting so defensive about personal preferences in dating. If someone says they would "hate" it if their partner used a Samsung Galaxy, that’s their prerogative. We live in a world where tech brands have become extensions of our personal brand and lifestyle. It’s not necessarily "classism" to want your partner to be on the same ecosystem, especially for things like iMessage, AirDrop, or just a shared aesthetic. Why are we acting like hardware choices don't signal certain social circles or values in 2026? Everyone has "shallow" dealbreakers, whether it’s fashion, height, or the phone someone pulls out at dinner. Let people have their standards without labeling every preference as a moral failing or systemic discrimination. It’s just a phone, but it’s also a vibe. #lifestyle #tech #opinion https://thoxt.com/l/clqpsh 🔗
