.. you can still send MMS. It works fine. They're not controlling what you can send. Soon they'll support RCS too to have parity with Android. That's a goodwill gesture in my eyes.

Capitalism doesn't pay for ethics, it pays for profits and press. It's paying for RCS support.

iMessage will have no benefit after that: the color of a bubble shouldn't mean anything.

    Yeah another user filled me in that iMessage didn't mean what I thought it did.

    But going a bit off topic, if you want to run an unethical business in the USA then what you should do is cut back the staff until it's barely viable, then sell everything and close the locations, and finally file bankruptcy after giving yourself a bonus. Why? Because an Unethical Business of any nature has no future. There is no long term. Countless large banks and nationwide businesses have collapsed before, there is no "too big to fail."
