You’re not forced to buy a specific device there. They all text each other fine. You just don’t get fancy iMessage features if you’re on Android.

"Fancy" features like group chats, or sending pictures that don't look like ass?

When every single alternative (other than RCS, ironically enough) just plain works. People just text, send each other pictures, participate in group chats, and it all just works, no matter the phone, computer, whatever, there are even just plain websites for many services.

You get all those features, just not with iPhone snobs who refuse to use acting but iMessage.
