>Because Apple embraced texting by supporting SMS

what? sms is a basic phone function, how is supporting sms "embracing" anything?

If you, as an iOS user, don't want to use iMessage you simply go flip the toggle. If you "just want to text people", it's just that easy. Really.



Making iMessage which handles SMS, but by default transparently upgrades you to another protocol is the first two parts of EEE. Realistically, no normies flip that switch.

Got stats to back this up? I have 3 friends who use iPhone's that do have that toggle flipped.
