No kid wants to be the one with the weird incompatible tech rooted in parental rigid dogma.

So why is Apple using outdated technology?

If everyone else has an iPhone then the actual issue is that you don’t. Suck it up, it’s an easy fix.
the actual issue is that Apple acts like a tyrant and doesn't want to be inclusive, which is ironic given their icon has a rainbow in it.
No, that is a different issue.
The issue here is this kid being able to communicate with friends. Suck it up. It’s an easy solution.

Can they see an existing FaceTime group and join?

I really hate apple for designing their phones to leave out android users. That should be against the law as we all know it’s to claim a monopoly.
Correct. This is the point for apple. And the reason I won't get one.
So your beliefs are more important than your kids social life. Got it.
Yes I have beliefs and values and don't give in for every tech gadget or need to have item. Like my niece who got AF 1s and was shuffling around because she can't "crease" then. Jfc.
I have an android and communicate just fine with apple users. I'm not paying hundreds of dollars for a phone. I'm not contracting with Verizon or any other company that uses Apple to get users, we use a cheaper plan. When my child is adult they can buy their own phone and plan. In the meantime, we use value phones and a budget cell phone service because they work and why pay more?
The fact that you are so aggressive and antagonistic over a literal cell phone brand is bizarre.
She isn’t. You are. You’re unbelievably nasty because you’re a fragile and simple-minded snob. Signed - Apple user
Name calling is so tacky. Do better in 2024!
Do better with your self-awareness, you complete…

Why would Apple do this aside from bullying android users? That is exactly what makes me not purchase their products.
