These articles always play up the sillier aspects, but I don’t think non-iPhone users realize how much more annoying a group chat becomes when you add even one non-iPhone user. All of the social network features (thumbs up, etc) becomes an explicit and long text, etc. None of it is a big deal individually, but it adds up. If I were younger and meaner, I’d definitely make passive aggressive comments about “green bubbles” and occasionally leave people off threads. (I realize this is a US-centric perspective, etc… but I’m definitely not a teen. :))
