>Do you feel the same way about not being able to play Nintendo games on a Playstation or an Xbox?

Yeah, because me trying to text an Apple phone from a non-apple phone is the same thing as trying to play a nintendo game on an xbox. Fuck off dude.

I'm sorry, but if you are unable to send a text to an Apple device from a non-Apple device, then you must be broken. If you stated that you cannot send an iMessage from a non-Apple device to an Apple device, then you'd be correct. However, an iMessage is not a text. Any text capable device is able to send a text to any other text capable device. If the app one reads those texts is called WhatsApp, iMessage, or ImTooStupidToKnowTheDifference.app, it doesn't matter.
