      Apple products do well with respect to bells and whistles. But crap at the main purpose of the product. Super high rate of failure with known engineering faults. Only idiots continue to buy them.

    I rarely use SMS texting, so I guess I just don’t see this issue, but I often feel like it’s a made-up problem to push clicks & views. Does anyone REALLY have this going on in their lives?

      It is a real thing. I have multiple family members that had android phones then switched to IPhones only because they wanted to chat with their friends who have IPhones. Then they complained about how they don’t like the iPhone as much but they’re staying anyway. It’s ridiculous.

    What’s with the desperation to get iMessage on Android? Seriously! Just live with your green bubbles and provide Google Chat platforms that’s within your ecosystem. This FOMO is getting out of hand.
