Gen Z accounts for 34 percent of iPhone users and just 10 percent of Samsung users, according to data reported by Financial Times.
One 23-year-old says she makes more plans "face-to-face" instead of over text since most of her friends have an iPhone.
Although the stigma started as a joke, over 70 percent of Gen Zers answered "never" when asked if they'd ever own an Android phone.

From green text bubbles to separate group chats, Gen Z Android users have heard it all from peers who own iPhones — and the jokes aren't always that funny.
