Ridiculous claim. 

We the consumer are the only ones who can actually turn the identifying colors into a “bullying mentality”. 

In the beginning there was only one color. Distinguishing between iMessages and a non-iMessage text became necessary as iMessages evolved. 

In general, I think the color scheme was correct as iMessages were sent over as a “free” message that only required an internet connection while non-iMessages needed a cellular plan which cost money. 

Blue=free message/iMessage 
green=Cellular plan ($$$) 

It wasn’t intended for just android users, it was a visual indicator for anything that would cost you money. 

Green =ߒডmp;nbsp;

I appreciated the identifier. 

To this day I have to have a plan to include SMS messages for non Apple uses. 

If anything this is bullying. 

What a dumb thing to suggest that Apple created this bullying mentality. 

If anything apple solved a problem and created competition  to lower sms messaging plans. I still remember the days when was he text  messages were counted and if you went over a certain amount you were charged extra. 

Sure, now most if not all plans include  unlimited calls and text messages, but let’s not forget that in the beginning we were all metered.
