Another big article over a simple thing. Reading these feels like people (not only the author) are focused on problems and not on solutions, and they mix everything together into the political drama. If the problem is green bubbles being ostracized for some teen-idiotic reason, would you like to know what to do? Make them all the same color. Yes, iMessage is SMS. The color is there for you to see if a message will be sent over SMS or over the internet, because SMS may cost money. Specifically, there are two colored things: a message itself and a "send" button, one shows the past, other shows the future. Leave the coloring of the button and own messages intact, and make all incoming bubbles blue. Or green, if you feel funny. There's a reason to see how you send, but no reason to see how it was delivered. That's it. No more issue. End of story.
