At least for me there's more to it. A green bubble means I have no way to know whether the message was delivered or was swallowed/mangled in transit. There's no guarantee on delivery time - I trust iMessage to be near-instant because it goes over IP - I don't trust the duct tape and garbage that handles SMS delivery especially across carriers.
Agreed that iMessage needs to be open, but let's not pretend like SMS is a fine replacement for it - it's not.
- em-bee 4y agothank you, that's actually helpful. good point. i agree with the issues of SMS. it's the same issue with the signal SMS integration i think. in fact having to use SMS on android to be able to talk to iphone users would also bother me and i'd seriously want to pressure them to use a cross platform messenger instead.
