Is this a collection you made with r2modnan or in the workshop? Mind sharing?

There's a solution nobody has mentioned yet, which is using an iMessage bridge application (allowing you to message iPhone users over iMessage). If you have a machine running MacOS, I just started using one called OpenBubbles that works great and, unlike other bridges (AirMessage or BlueBubbles), doesn't require you to spin up and run a Mac as a server.

Alternatively, iOS 18 drops this month and has support for RCS, as some have mentioned. This is assuming you use Google Messages...

Sounds like they're just looking for a daddy.

I think this sorta misses the point, at least from my perspective. Nobody cares what phone another person has until they try to send that person a picture or a video that looks like it was sent from 2004.

I know that this is only really a problem in the United States, but that doesn't make it any less annoying for those who have to deal with it. I have no interest trying to convince my 74 year old mother and a dozen other friends/family members to install a different messaging app on their iPhone so we can send each other videos that aren't compressed to shit.

Most people with an iPhone just want to use the default messenger cause, frankly, iMessage works and it works really well. You know when that default Messages app doesn't work well? When you're forced to use an antiquated technology like SMS/MMS. Apple knows this and banks on it to sell more products. It's one of many anti-competitive practices they employ.

RCS isn't a perfect solution, but this is a huge step forward in closing a gap that should've been closed a decade ago. Nobody cares what phone another person is using. They do care about having a premium experience with a device they paid $1,000+ dollars for. They're also ignorant enough to blame a green bubble or the believed cause of that green bubble, which is any device other than an iPhone.

In my experience, that's only temporary. The screen will always wake up again on United flights.

How did you make out with cancelling? Despite what people are saying here, I didn't have a problem doing it from a browser and I don't own any Apple devices.
