if Apple allowed an iMessage compatible app to be developed on android, r even sold it themselves, I would buy it for this reason. I hate thinking negatively of my friends for buying into this type of attitude instead of getting a 3rd party app that provides the same experience for everyone - but it just didnt happen

so now i have to drop $700 on an iphone for a text messaging app. fucking ridiculous, but i want better communication with my friends without telling them what to do
