Apple, in an attempt to leverage social pressure to drive sales instead of actually providing a quality product, displays texts from Android devices in a deliberately unpleasant to look at shade of green, and cripples features of the group chat if even one member of it is using a non-Apple device, incentivizing groups of friends and even families to ostracize people for using a different phone.
I am on apple. The other day two people from a group of friends were texting me and sent videos. The apple user sent a nice vid. The next was from a potato back 20 years in time. Or it could have been the latest android flagship. I don’t really know, but it feels annoying and unnecessary.
What is a green bubble?

It also fucks with the quality of videos to the point where they are unwatchable if you have an android
