It’s just a regular SMS. iMessage is superior yes but it’s not some huge deal. Well unless you try and type more than like 3 sentences in a text and it gets split up and sent all out of order lol. Also videos are hosed if you send them. Why hasn’t (maybe they have) google come up with their own version of iMessage?

Google tried that and it was called Hangouts and it required you to use a different phone number for using it so no one used it and they haven't tried again in 6 years

I don’t understand why they don’t make something like iMessage but for all android phones. Like iMessage is secure as poo poo and texts are absolutely not secure in anyway.

I mean WhatsApp is used outside of the US and it’s great too but it’s not built in and a third party controls the data. Edit: pretty much anything that gets you off the SMS network is going to be good. It’s ridiculous that in 2019 we are still using that poo poo.

SMS is total trash and none of that is Google's fault, but it is fairly strange how they haven't been able to push their own iMessage-like protocol over the many, many years of Android. Hangouts came out far too late and that app is a weird mess that no one wants to use. But Google's very weird when it comes to picking and choosing apps to market, which is why Hangouts exists at all. Also I don't think it's actually ever helped get me a date, but a couple girls have said to me in the past they're glad I have an iPhone because iMessage is so much easier for them... Not that I care now because I've been with my girlfriend for years. But we both have iPhones out of convenience. Cough Drop The Beat fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Mar 3, 2019 |

Y'all wonder why your green text boxes carry a stigma. That green box "stigma" is literally because the punchline of that insult is that Android users are poor, doesn't have anything to do with how some rare outside use cases react to iPhones. It's almost always meant as "LOL POORS WITH THEIR HILLBILLY AND GHETTO PHONES."

It's really good because wife and I have 3 phones between us, our personal ones and the business phone. When someone texts our business phone it does it through Hangouts, which means we get the message on every phone. This allows my wife and I to talk to the same client in real time on each of our phones, continue conversations and everything as needed. We can go to our computers and continue there, whatever it's wide open. Pixel 3 takes phenomenal pictures too, also important for my wife and I and our business.

From what I've been able to gather after studying the responses in this thread, Android users seem to get pissed off a lot quicker about phone choice. iOS users, on the other hand, seem at least moderately chill. Why are Android folks mad about phones?

I like my Galaxy tab s3, they are waaaay overpriced even used but Netflix looks good on it and it works as a mini not-windows laptop Google software is ridiculously lame though, youd figure as a massive data mining company they'd have a great shopping list, diary, and note taking app with built in ocr but instead we get keep, a somewhat competent note taking app. I shouldn't have to download onenote AND a separate shopping list app AND a separate to-do/scheduler

Moridin920 posted:steve jobs isn't going to gently caress you, he's dead Dude, this is completely and utterly wrong. Apple released a stealth update that throttled down the processors in iPhones that have a dying batteries, not the battery itself, so potentially the dying battery lasts longer with less power draw. I had an iPhone 5 with a barely working battery that would randomly turn off at 50-60% out of nowhere and Apple wanted to minimize that behavior for many users. But I disagreed with this move because it was done without user consent. It was really wrong for Apple to do that and they were hit with class action lawsuits. But it also has nothing whatsoever to do with "planned obsolescence" because it's not like Apple can download you a new battery but they did offer heavily discounted $30 batteries for all of 2018. In short, you're dumb as gently caress and don't know poo poo.

Elukka posted:I thought they solved this problem in like the Nokia flip phone era. Ever since then every phone I've used has let me send and receive arbitrary length SMS. Somewhere behind the scenes it's chopped to however many characters SMS supports but to the user it's just one longer message. You can send what we length you want yes but it’s chopped up and sent and often they come out of order. I just saw this a last week with a girl I was talking with who was using an android phone.

SMS is unreliable garbage. Does it get delivered? Maybe yes, maybe no. There’s no way to tell. It can get there a week late. It can be randomly ordered. It can be silently dropped. Did that girl not get the “u up?” text that you sent her or is she just ignoring you? Better send 4 more. iMessage is reliable, encrypted, synched between devices. With iMessage you know that she’s ignoring you.

Wouldn't it make sense to release the update for entire models, whether or not the battery was below ~80% health or whatever, though? That way the throttling could be activated when a phone's initially healthy battery begins to degrade beyond a certain point. e: The thing I'm seeing here is Android users being incredulous that older phones get updates, actually.

Any smartphone in existence with an original battery will be dying after about 1.5-2 years of regular use, whether it's a Samsung, Apple, or Google Pixel phone. It's irrelevant anyways because Apple's had a battery throttling toggle in iOS for several months now. Not like Samsung and other manufacturers haven't made immeasurable mistakes with exploding phones, annoying Bixby assistant buttons, defective OLED screens, etc. We can play this game forever.
