I'm guessing the bubbles will stay the different colors, which is all apple really cares about. They get a /lot/ of sales on bubble color. So keep the regulators who want to open up imessage to others at bay and keep the primary benefit to apple. As a bonus, it's less terrible in general for all of us.
Win-win-win.
This is soooo weird for me. I mean, it's the content which counts?
A lot of high schoolers and people who never grew up after that consider it a status symbol.
No they don’t.
Really? High schoolers who have been known to shame/bully/hold random things as status symbols that most grown adults wouldn't even give a second thought to?
Lmao, they definitely do and I've even seen it first hand in a past life as a substitute. There's also plenty of articles and surveys to confirm it
Plus dating apps. When I used to be on Tinder, a bunch of girls stopped talking to me once we moved off Tinder and my bubble showed up green lmao.
Thats because it’s just not true that people care about bubble color. Or at least no one I’ve ever encountered at least. The way people talk about it on here you’d think kids were killing themselves because they have an android phone and no one with iPhones will talk to them.
Not sure if you're serious, but as someone who graduated a US high school just a few years ago, yes young people actually do care about stupid things like this. Real otherwise completely normal seeming people discriminate based on bubble color.
They should be publicly ridiculed and shamed then for their stupidity.
