MODERATORS
A) Apple stop being scummy
B) USA gets a grip on this bubble colour nonsense and stops using iMessage
Which comes first?
It's not about the bubble color, it's about not being able to use modern messaging features cross-platform.
The two things go hand in hand, though.
Degraded messaging gets branded with green bubbles. Green bubbles - i.e. non-Apple phones - get associated with degraded messaging. Non-Apple phones get pidgeon-holed as crappy phones for messaging. People get bullied into buying iPhones.
it gets even better because the android to android messaging is better than the IMessage stuff, but apple purposefully degrades the performance of cross-platform messaging
When iPhones get RCS won't this stop being an issue?
Not all iMessage features can be mapped to RCS, so unless Apple brings iMessage to other platforms, non-Apple phones will always be associated with an inferior messaging experience.
I think you're being optimistic in thinking that either of those is going to happen.
