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

      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.

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

        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.
