I’m not the one paying a grand for a phone that doesn’t support basic SMS functions and reduces the quality of MMS for goodness knows what reason but probably money
Yeah, no one claimed it was intellectual, stop putting words in my mouth.
All grandma knows is when we add cousin Linus all the bubbles turn green and the photos look terrible, so she leaves him out and only emails him later if she remembers.
Also, yeah that’s Apple’s fault. Never said it wasn’t.
But to imply that there is, like, bubble racism or something going on, ie it’s purely over aesthetics, and that people are being “infantile” because of it, is ignorant reductance of such magnitude that you basically burned your own strawman down.
You don’t know what you’re talking about then, since Android has exactly the same feature set as iOS (I mean why wouldn’t it) it’s just that Apple refuses to use a universal standard that’s compatible and as per usual insists on using their own made-up proprietary nonsense, see charging cables, iTunes, the Apple watch, and air tags. So Android phones have to default to SMS to send any messages to iPhones. Between android devices the feature sets are there.
Drop the condescending attitude please. I know all about RCS. I know all about Apple’s ecosystem and what they choose to allow on it. Compliance with standards is still a part of feature set I was referring to. Apple wants to lock people into their hardware and software. This is a known fact. You can like it or not, but there’s still more to the differences between green bubbles and blue ones and if you continue to act like there’s not then you’re the ignorant one in the conversation.
Don’t even try, these fanboys have to project or else they’ll fall to shambles over the Google spyware they think sets them free.
34 downvotes and counting for pointing out how non-technical people came to favor one bubble color over another; not a fucking ounce of critical thought for their own chosen OS worship.
Maybe one of these days these idiots will figure out that being a mindless anti-fanboy is every bit as obnoxious as being a mindless fanboy in the first place, but I’m not holding my breath. Until then I’ll take my downvotes for pointing out simple facts like the badge of honor they are.
Which is exactly one of the reasons I hate Apple. That feature set mismatch isn’t done because Android developers can’t figure out how to implement those features. It’s because Apple is locking out anyone else from using them to encourage this shit so they sell more iPhones. Your choice is as much the reason your chats don’t have those features as any Android owner’s choice is.
Looking at your replies in this thread, it seems like you care more about this issue than I would bet the vast majority of actual iPhone users do. Going off on unwanted, unhinged rants for basically no reason and …what’s that phrase the kids are using these days, letting Apple live rent free in your head like that doesn’t seem like a particularly healthy or enjoyable way to live your life, but I guess if it works for you, so be it. Personally I’d like to never have to read another one of your rants on the topic again, but I guess that’s what the block button is for.
*American apple people. No one else on earth gives a shit.
It was only six months ago that I learnt they were getting their knickers in a twist for years about the colour of text messages
I had absolutely no fucking clue that text messages had different colours
How. Fuckin. Infantile is that?!?
If you think it’s the color of the bubble that is the problem, you might be the infant
Laugh at the Apple user

They may soon be forced to support RSC which will be funny. Especially if they then decide only to support it in Europe.

You do know that just because you use an Android doesn’t mean you need to speak like one?
I use an iPhone lol
No that is the reason. There is nothing intellectual about the position. It’s just moronic.

Except it’s not the color, it’s the feature set that the colors represent.

It’s called RCS, look it up it’s interesting.

Good thing nobody is forcing you to buy an iPhone then.
Yes, I agree completely. That would be fucking awful.

Untrue, Apple fans are a weird breed, not users, just fans.
