A pejorative term for non-
iPhone users. iPhones use iMessage to communicate with other iPhones, oftentimes being quicker than sending a regular text message/SMS message since it uses
wi-fi or other
internet data. Since non-iOS devices such as those by Samsung, Google, HTC, etc,. don't use iMessage, regular text messaging is required to communicate between an
iPhone and non-iPhone.
Greenies often face various forms of discrimination such as exclusion from group chats, being banned from offering their phone camera to capture a moment, and others assuming them to be of low socio-economic status.
