This is very true, but my main issue was my phone receiving a delivery confirmation when the recipient never actually received the message. That seems like unacceptable behavior to me. Assuming the messages are IDed in some way, why can't phone A just keep sending message 1 to phone B until it receives a confirmation for message 1 from phone B? And phone B can just ignore any duplicate message 1's and send back confirmations for them anyway. Obviously this becomes a very complex problem over a large scale, but I feel like Apple can do better than this.
