There is a lot to complain about Apple’s business practices, but the fact that the green bubble rage has turned into an interoperability monopoly case is laughable.
How much did that one set back Google after their ADHD killed off how many messaging platforms?
Fine, open it up, open them all up. Give me sliders to deny messages from SMS, Whatsapp and anyone else looking for compatibility. Same in the other direction, allow users to choose from which originating platform they’ll accept messages.
As far as the rest, yeah, Apple needs an adjustment. I should not have to pay to run my own app on my own phone. But I do.
