> I find this whole debate over what is essentially the background color of chat messages to be rather silly.

Are you aware that it's actually so serious that Apple officially uses it in their marketing? They quite literally say "iMessages are blue. So you're not." and most notably: "SMS texters will be green with envy."

So what ? Your reply doesn't make it about anything else than the color of the messages.

It's no different than WhatsApp creating an add saying "I give the same color chat bubbles to everybody".

It is essentially a dispute over people wanting iMessage because people delivers the superior tool. iMessage does nothing that any other messaging client doesn't already do, but with fewer users.


Any evidence of that image in context? It really doesnt look like it abides by Apples strict design standards, so unless proven otherwise Im inclined to think it is fake.



Thankyou
