    In my case, I worked for someone who only communicated via iMessage. When I got hired they said, “Either get an iPhone or figure out some magical way to get iMessage on Android.”

        Wish I could say! But many influential people in tech/media/politics are iMessage diehards, and she was no exception

            Nah, I had them buy me a used Mac Mini for $50. But you’re right: if they made me get an iPhone it would have been on them
