And green for non iphone users was a genius. That is one of the things keeping me from switching to a pixel.

That's really sad

Why?

That the color of a bubble when someone texts you is on the list of reasons

It ruins everyone's group message.

How does it ruin everyone's group message?

Yeah except when you're the only person in the group who didn't get an iPhone

Not really. Is an iPhone really incapable of handling group text messages across

When you're in a GM with 10 iPhone users it ruins it for 9/10.

You still have failed to answer how it ruins it, other than not being able to see when someone's typing.

iMessage is quicker than MMS/SMS.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense.

Sounds like an Apple problem

Who cares? All I know is my experience is worse texting green messages.

Apparently you care, cause you say that quite often your iPhone texting

I do care about not texting Android users.

That's your opinion I guess. Inconvenience may be the better word.

This is the only reason I switched back to iPhone.

One other aspect is being able to access it from other apple devices. If I'm on

You can choose who sees it. My parents and wife can see mine

This makes sense. I have a pixel and my wife has an iPhone. The way we handle it

On Android you can change the color of your text bubbles

Most are acting like my OP said "here's the only reason in staying w/ apple"
