Well, if you don’t know that, it means that either, you are not a US citizen, which we ruled out, ooooor… oooh, I hate to break it to you but… you have lost touch with “the youngsters” as they say. You are old.
Show me a source that people are buying iPhones so they can use iMessage. This sounds like a gut/“it sounds true” statement to me. I would be surprised if it was an actual driver of sales in any meaningful way.
that aside, one of the connections I have to the US has kids and her kids actually experienced some isolation because the kids only had “cheap android” and thus couldn’t use iMessages which was what all the other kids pointedly used because teenagers are suckers for made up common identity bullshit. It was that one specific brand of baggies when I was young, now iit seems to be iPhones in some places.
This article is 5 years old and it would be a massive stretch to say it proves people buy iPhones in any appreciable number for iMessage. I get what you’re driving at but this is very indirect, dated, and just overall insufficient. It’s mainly about multitasking at the end of the day.
As a us citizen this is news to me

There’s no need for the sarcasm/tone.
What tone? I was pulling your leg a little, as in “haha u old”, no sarcasm intended.
Regarding the sources: I just did a quick google and here is the most trustworthy source of business insider: https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-iphone-ownership-creates-culture-of-multitasking-2019-6

I guess I misread the tone, no worries.
