    No that is the reason. There is nothing intellectual about the position. It’s just moronic.

      Yeah, no one claimed it was intellectual, stop putting words in my mouth.

      All grandma knows is when we add cousin Linus all the bubbles turn green and the photos look terrible, so she leaves him out and only emails him later if she remembers.

      Also, yeah that’s Apple’s fault. Never said it wasn’t.

      But to imply that there is, like, bubble racism or something going on, ie it’s purely over aesthetics, and that people are being “infantile” because of it, is ignorant reductance of such magnitude that you basically burned your own strawman down.

      Except it’s not the color, it’s the feature set that the colors represent.

        You don’t know what you’re talking about then, since Android has exactly the same feature set as iOS (I mean why wouldn’t it) it’s just that Apple refuses to use a universal standard that’s compatible and as per usual insists on using their own made-up proprietary nonsense, see charging cables, iTunes, the Apple watch, and air tags. So Android phones have to default to SMS to send any messages to iPhones. Between android devices the feature sets are there.

        It’s called RCS, look it up it’s interesting.

          Drop the condescending attitude please. I know all about RCS. I know all about Apple’s ecosystem and what they choose to allow on it. Compliance with standards is still a part of feature set I was referring to. Apple wants to lock people into their hardware and software. This is a known fact. You can like it or not, but there’s still more to the differences between green bubbles and blue ones and if you continue to act like there’s not then you’re the ignorant one in the conversation.

            Don’t even try, these fanboys have to project or else they’ll fall to shambles over the Google spyware they think sets them free.

            34 downvotes and counting for pointing out how non-technical people came to favor one bubble color over another; not a fucking ounce of critical thought for their own chosen OS worship.

              Maybe one of these days these idiots will figure out that being a mindless anti-fanboy is every bit as obnoxious as being a mindless fanboy in the first place, but I’m not holding my breath. Until then I’ll take my downvotes for pointing out simple facts like the badge of honor they are.
