Comment on Google and major mobile carriers want Europe to regulate Apple's iMessage platform
sanpo@sopuli.xyz 1 year agoI think you’re just being pedantic here.
I’m pretty sure they meant when messages are sent using the iMessage app - from the point of view of iPhone user distinction between iMessage protocol and SMS/MMS doesn’t matter.

The app is called Messages. The entire point of the article is to discuss the iMessages versus SMS so I absolutely do think it’s important to get the distinction right in this case.

But the statement is not incorrect.
(When photos and videos are sent to an Android user through iMessage), (Android users receive lower-quality photos and videos [via being downgraded to SMS/MMS).

The statement in the article is literally incorrect. You cannot send a message to an Android user through iMessage. That fact is at the core of the discussion and they got it wrong.

The surrounding context of that statement is talking about the app, not the protocol. From the Apple user’s perspective, they see no difference.
