How so? How much of this is just SMS? Is it Apple’s fault that SMS doesn’t have group chat, etc? People forget that the iPhone only had SMS the first 3-4 years of its existence. It was a green bubble from day one. So it’s not like they’ve planned this from day one. They needed to differentiate between SMS and iMessage so they started switching colors. I do wonder if anyone has checked the shade of green though. I bet you they’ve made it subtly more visually annoying. Also, yes RCS exists but the feature set is spotty across carriers and it’s not end to end encrypted.
