Green unencrypted messages, the App Store tax, lightning cables, compatibility problems—there isn't even a calculator on the iPad. Seriously. Nobody's perfect, but Apple could fix these problems. In some cases they're accused of making it worse on purpose.
iPhone users’ messages turn green when they’re texting Android phones. When both people are on iPhones, all the messages are blue. This isn’t just about aesthetics.
When two iPhone users communicate, the texts are end-to-end encrypted, which means they’re more private and far more secure. When iPhones text with Androids, the messages are sent over SMS, an ancient protocol that dates back to 1992. There are other drawbacks too, for years the little heart reactions you can add to a message weren’t compatible across platforms, and videos sent between iPhone and Android would get compressed and sent in pitifully low quality.
Basically, it seems like this is Apple’s fault. Google, the maker of Android, wants to fix the problem. Google adopted a new texting protocol that would solve all of these problems called RCS.by collaborating with Apple, but Apple apparently refuses. Apple could also just make an iMessage app for Android, but they probably won’t do that either.
In an email uncovered in a lawsuit, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, said, “iMessage on Android would simply serve to remove [an] obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones.” Another Apple employee said elsewhere that “the #1 most difficult [reason] to leave the Apple universe app is iMessage... iMessage amounts to serious lock-in.” In other words, this is about crushing their competition..
