  Sorry it obviously also applies to understanding analogies.

    I’d be more inclined to believe you if you weren’t throwing ad hominems around in what seems to be an amateurish effort to save face for some reason…

      I don’t think you’re interested in reasoning at all, chance my disinterest in doing so. The apply fanboys believe that everything Apple is good, even if it’s against their own interests.

      I don’t like a company that deliberately manipulates people into recruiting more customers, like forcing them from being excluded from conversations because they have an android phone, but doing absolutely nothing to fix it, in fact, deliberately not fixing it and making the Apple users feel superior because “look what iMessage can do”. I mean yeah, I’ve been able to do what iMessage did since back when a thing called MXit or BlackBerry messenger was around. But of course there’s this assumption of superiority from the Apple users, because Apple is just superior right?

      I was using a touch screen phone for like a year and a half before the iPhone even came out, but apparently it was Apple who revolutionised the market.

      Just look at their shitty lightning cables, used for nothing but extortion.

      But, the Apple dick suckers, will suck Apple dick until the day they die, because Steve Jobs, the person who perfected modern day planned obsolescence and has caused millions of tons of unnecessary e-waste, told them that by owning an apple product, they are superior.

        I don’t need trollish, outlandish, inflammatory language to make a point, nor will it gain any favorability to any argument I hear. I get that it upsets you, but it also doesn’t affect you in any way. Literally the only people who encounter any side of this issue are Apple users, and anyone can just use a secondary chat app to avoid it. I literally have 6 chat apps installed on my phone, and I only use iMessage for less than ten people. Does that annoy me? Not really. I just keep all chat apps in a folder called “social” and treat that folder as if it’s its own cross-platform message app.

        Nobody is being “forced” to do anything. People have options.
        Who did what first doesn’t even matter. It’s merely interesting at best, but is beside the point and doesn’t lend any precedence to anything being discussed here.

        Here’s the thing, if I had “friends” forcing me out of conversations just because I couldn’t so much as use iMessage with them, I’d question my own standing in that friendship and its actual value to me.

        1. Ask if there’s an app they preferred to use for non-Apple users, and see if you’re willing to join them there.
        2. Just tell them which app you use and how to reach you there. If they really need to reach you, they can just contact you that way.
        3. Let them keep using iMessage. Poor resolution images and green bubbles will be their problem to deal with, not yours.
