In incentivized experiments with U.S. college students, an NBER working paper (w33642) found that removing green bubbles (the color iPhones give texts from Android phones) raised the likelihood of choosing the Android option by 7.3 percentage points, a 46% increase from a base rate of 15.8%. source
