@samkohl Apple fanboys have iMessage and yet the irony is that they are so disconnected from the world.

@nothing Maybe if luck is on our side, this may become the reason to switch sides.

@uskarimah46 Until it's not affecting your usability, I'd say leave it on.

Though if it's scratched or damaged, then replace it.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@immasiddtweets Then there will be some saying that you should let the apps choose their brand identity and colors and designs.

Have heard this argument used against Material U.

Neither approach is bad, just prefer the iOS here.

@DanielCR93 @LB_BurtonSr @HeyDudeJude It's not Apple's fault but Apple is certainly part of it.

People are just people. Apple can resolve this but they chose not to, for making more money. If Apple were struggling to make money, it would make sense but at this point they are just doing it to create a divide.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@LB_BurtonSr @HeyDudeJude Hopefully with RCS it won't.
But in the current state you are forced to use third party alternatives, you can convince a few people, not everyone.

Communication devices being limited and needing third party "helpers" to communicate well. Doesn't sound right.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@HeyDudeJude @LB_BurtonSr Should businesses be allowed to do anything just for the sake of making money??

Even if it hampers the experience of their users and others.

Not everything has to be forced by law, some things just need common sense and some decency.

@XsPosts @RealJoseph123 @iCave_Dave You can be mad at Apple or samsung if they did the same.

It's like buying vegetables but the vendor asks you to buy his other vegetables to get the one you want/need. They can do whatever they want.

But you would still be mad.
Not participating in right or wrong, just opinion

Exactly!!!!!

[TechWhirl Ultimate @TechWhirlUlt]

I believe that phones are just communication devices- connecting people, enriching lives, a trillion dollar company shouldn't stop people from having a great experience while chatting irrespective of device.

"if you want iMessage, buy an iPhone"

I've seen this take a lot recently, and I HEAVILY disagree.

People usually say this to justify Apple's goal of making messaging interoperability worse. Personally, I think there is *zero* justification for Apple's stance against messaging interoperability.

Implementing fully encrypted RCS would be incredibly easy. Allowing Beeper Mini to continue is literally easier than finding a patch. And yet, Apple purposely tries to make communication worse for the entire planet in order to pad their market cap by hundreds of billions of dollars.

For better or for worse, iMessage is how most of the U.S. communicates. We're at a point where asking everyone in your life to switch to a third party messaging service is completely unrealistic. This is literally the definition of a monopoly. Apple has a monopoly on messaging.

Recommending that everyone who wants iMessage go buy an iPhone is literally the exact incentive Apple needs to keep creating this artificial problem. The solution to broken messaging isn't for one company to have 100% market share.

We as consumers shouldn't be defending Apple for prioritizing money over our own ability to communicate.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@LeakerApple @amplifiedpoop2 @simplequestt If we can hold public figures to high standards, then why shouldn't we expect the same from trillion dollar businesses.

Are businesses given free passes to participate or even be part of the problem, for the sake of them making more money.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@LeakerApple It is such a sad state of the world that people are defending a business, rather than pushing the business to make better experiences for everyone.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@king_ape6 @Robin59101 @LeoTheNinja_v2 @theapplehub If you let companies do their own thing, they will rip you apart just for money.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@Urban_el_soul @tech_instigator Mostly because Reddit has specific communities for user groups of any device. It's easier to get the attention of the same user group and share the experiences.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@MarcTech1996 @edwinxsilva @LuftkoppTim Your 76 year old grandma is more understanding than most people.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@angelstealth Yes, that can be done surely.

But I am just pointing it out because iPhones are generally applauded for their minimal standby drain and I am yet to experience that in my 1.5 years of usage.

I have tried power saving mode as well but didn't help much. And this is all on wifi.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

The standby battery drain on the iPhone 13 has been quite horrible.
Everything is updated and running on the latest OS, also recently reset to factory settings.

Even then standby drain of ~15% in less than 15 hours is really bad.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@amplifiedpoop2 Not good.

[Apple Ecosystem @ecosystem_apple]

@jameelkhanday @zaheen555 See, the question was which design seemed better. We chose one.
You chose another, but at the same time you want to prove that somehow apple's design is better.
Neither of us are in their marketing team. So, be happy in your choices.
