Can a man still be a ’10’ if he has an Android? Women are asked if ranking of a potential mate changes depending on their smartphone… So what do YOU think?

Your choice of smartphone could be a deal breaker for some women. 

A TikToker asked random women if a man was a ’10’ but had an Android, does that change his rating?

The question mirrors the long-held beef between iPhone and Android users, as the former believes the device is a ‘status symbol’ due to its blue text bubbles and different camera technology.

Many women feel it downgrades a potential mate due to the green text bubbles and ‘bad quality photos.’

However, one woman said ‘he is still a 10’ and another’s boyfriend owns an Android.

While the experiment is random, a study in 2020 found that 70 percent of the more than 1,500 singles surveyed prefer to date iPhone users.

However, smartphone discrimination works both ways –  only about half of Android users have said they would consider pairing up with iPhone users.

But now a TikToker named Travjbarnett has put it to the ultimate test and asked women in the real world. 

And the video resurfaced online recently. 

‘He’s a 10, but he has an Android phone, what’s his new rating,’ the TikToker asked.

The first woman quickly responded with: ‘A three.’

‘That’s horrible,’ another woman said.

One woman mentioned that photos will not be compatible. 

Many of those asked by the TikToker said the new ranking would be between a zero and a three

iPhone users have long complained about pictures they receive from their Android friends, saying they are blurry.

That is due to the different pixel formats used by the smartphones – Android’s density is around 720p or 480p, while the iPhone is about 1080p.

While blurry photos may be valid, one woman said having an Android is a sign of being poor. 

 ‘Are you broke,’ she said. ‘How can you not afford an iPhone?’

Other responses included ‘he is a nerd’ and ‘I am not using WhatsApp.’ 

Not all the respondents discriminated against Android users

The answers align with a 2020 study that an iPhone, Apple Watch or even a pair of AirPods in your photos can boost the odds of a match by as much as 76 percent.

Most other brands, including Google, lowered the chances of someone swiping right.

However, the study found that BlackBerry is the kiss of death, as the device decreased the odds of a match by 74 percent. 

To see what drove daters to swipe, researchers posted fake profiles on apps in several cities around the world.

The faces and profiles were identical – the only difference was what tech brand was on view in their photos.

Having an iPhone visible in your photos raised the chances of a match by an astounding 76 percent, while an Apple Watch on your wrist increased them by a healthy 61 percent and AirPods by 41 percent.
