you won’t

I don't think it would be as unlikely as you'd think. It's not impossible for a significant amount of people to get a cheap Android for these apps, after all iPhones are a result of iMessage.

  • “Large portions of US teens will get second phones for one specific social media app” is an absolutely wild thing to predict seriously

    • Most US teens probably already have a second smartphone-like device, and large portions of them have purchased them purely for one specific social media app.

      I'm not saying it's more likely that not, but I am saying I wouldn't be surprised. If you replace "one specific social media app" with "iMessage", it has already happened.
