    But black text

    Funny to see even Jobs hit `return` to send the message initially.

  Yes. From the article: "To be clear, it is not that green is gross. It is the low color contrast of the green Apple picked and used against white text is gross." The original design used black text, for one thing.

  Yes and no. It used to be black on green (with imo a way worse green). https://www.oreilly.com/api/v2/epubs/9780133016529/files/graphics/03fig02.jpg https://www.oreilly.com/api/v2/epubs/9780133016529/files/gra...

  Yes, but the contrast was good. iOS 4, green Aqua-ish bubbles with black text: https://d2bs8hqp6qvsw6.cloudfront.net/article/images/750x750/dimg/m_img_29352.jpg https://d2bs8hqp6qvsw6.cloudfront.net/article/images/750x750... iOS 5, introducing blue iMessage bubbles (still good contrast in both colors): https://images.anandtech.com/doci/4956/IMG_0907.PNG https://images.anandtech.com/doci/4956/IMG_0907.PNG The change in contrast came with Ive's "flat" iOS 7: https://i.insider.com/5df902c5fd9db27769749a5f?width=1300&format=png https://i.insider.com/5df902c5fd9db27769749a5f?width=1300&fo...
