The actual effect is ostracism of green bubbles. You literally get kicked out of social circles and get peer-pressured into buying an iPhone.

Does this.... actually happen? To like, people over the age of 10?
If so, I'd almost be thankful to Apple for letting me know who not to bother being friends with.
If someone in my social circle ostracized someone else because of their phone, they (the person doing the ostracizing) wouldn't be in my social circle anymore.
if you're not joking you can see countless examples on social media sites. it's not just friends it's family, coworkers.
my friend group has a separate group chat for just android users and they get party invites after the main group does.
I'm not joking, at all.
I have never heard of this actually happening outside of when iPhone is a topic on HN. I don't really have other social media, so that might be a part of it. But in real life? Never once experienced this, or even know someone who has.

This makes no sense to me. You exclude some portion of your friends because your text bubble is green instead of blue? Why?

This is beyond ridiculous. All of my group chats that need to be cross-platform just move to Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp

This happened in my family. Except my cousins just banded together and bought our Android using family member an iPhone. She was pleased with the result
