The raging capitalist's version of "competition"They decided it was to their advantage to keep iMessage because it would force families to buy iPhones when kids got a phone.

Apparently Apple will be implementing RCS this fall. RCS is the replacement for SMS which is how iMessage implements interoperability when dealing with Android phones. RCS. is an industry (carrier) standard that does NOT support end to end encryption. Google however has an implementation of RCS which does support E2E and that is what most but not all Android phones use. Rumor says Apple will utilize the Google implementation of RCS though there is some talk of Apple implementing its own version (smart money is on using Google). This will mitigate all the valid criticism of Apples interoperability issue. However the bubbles will still be green!

Yeah I had a discussion with my applespouse who insists "well Apple sells more because it's a better product. It's how capitalism works!"
Yes so Apple users will know they're texting to a superior phone (LOL)The bubbles will still be green.
I'm actually pretty sure that droid is the most common phone world-wide. The US is an outlier with iPhones.
