Anyone who thinks this is about the color of the bubble is either misinformed, or 14 and a bully.
No one sane actually cares about the color. It could be pink, purple, green, red, blue, whatever, and people would still have the exact same problem, being that RCS is not supported, and SMS/MMS is shit in comparison.
It's less about the bubble and more than group texts and multimedia are notoriously botched between Android and iOS. The color of the bubble tells Apple users that they should expect a worse experience.
Yeah once the bubbles turn green I know I am limited to MMS, so texting goes from stickers, effects, videos and image galleries to the quality of texting on a Motorola RAZR. Half of the joke about the color of the bubbles is that the green bubble people are either ignorant of or disregard the improvements in texting for the last decade. RCS I haven't used extensively, but it has mostly felt like MMS without mime and size restrictions with the added bonus of allowing Google to access the messages.
i mean, i can do all that via RCS.
So you are saying "apple has crippled my texting, but i blame anyone other than apple". Half of the joke about the color of the bubbles is that the blue bubble people are either ignorant of or disregard the improvements in texting for the last decade.
