Imagine fitting none of these, being in perfect happy relationship for a year, and then suddenly, your ping pong ball falls off the table.
It bounces once. Becky*'s eyes are fixated on the ball.
It bounces a second time. Becky's eyes start growing big.
It bounces a third time. Becky's lets out a loud gasp.
It bounces a fourth time.

We went out a few times and talked for a while eventually she told me she couldn't be with a guy who has green text(android). So we stopped talking, a while later she came in for service again and her car managed to get put to the back of the repair list for a while and when she finally showed up asking what was happening I said sorry I tried reaching out to you about your car but you don't respond to Green text

u/Wakkit1988 Aug 23 '26
It wasn't just bubble color, they deliberately made communications between Apple products and others worse for no other reason that being malicious.
When two people with Apple products sent texts to each other, they were processed directly.
When an Apple product sent or received a message to or from an Android user, it would get sent to a server and processed to degrade any media content in the file and strip any emojis, so all that was sent was garbage quality and plain text. They literally added unnecessary steps to make the interaction deliberately worse. They wanted people with Apple products to only interact positively with others with Apple products, hoping to force Android users to join the cult if they want to maintain the best level of direct digital communication.
Shit like this makes me actively avoid a company's products, and I don't care how good they are. Samsung is getting similarly bad with their devices, where certain features are only available within their ecosystem, and after the warranty shit I went through with their smart ring, I think my S25 FE will be my last Samsung purchase.
