      EU implements legislation forcing Android + Apple to use standards that actually work properly with each other. (they usually spearhead this type of change)

      People using android no longer break group chats or have terrible sent image/video quality when messaging Iphone users.

      With this ammunition gone, teens stop using it to attack each other for their familys (lack of) income. Ie those kids ‘fit in’ better.

        Oh, OK. I did misunderstand what was being said. Thank you for clarifying.

        I’d say it’s people using Apple that break group chats, since Apple doesn’t utilize SMS/MMS correctly.

        Not Android’s fault that Apple butchers MMS quality.

        Though carriers have some culpability here, even if a carrier allowed higher quality MMS (Verizon), iPhone still wouldn’t use that capability, while Android can if configured to do so.

          Thats a fair argument; though in this context it’s more about how the teens causing social issues perceive it.

          It’s not the Iphone users getting picked on in schools.
