Still green. There, saved You the SEO spam.

Unfortunate that they won’t differentiate from SMS.

Unreadable white text in green bubbles punishes only APPLE USERS.

Apple so went to hell when Steve Jobs passed.

It's worse now, but shenanigans were afoot in the Jobs era. There was an internal memo for making third-party device support 'plausibly incompatible'. That tradition continues with many brands of non-Apple computer monitors using YPbPr rather than RGB when connected to Macs.

Sure, Steve wasn’t perfect! Personally, I was really upset that HyperCard was scuttled. I used it on some pretty serious projects in aerospace. I don’t think that Apple had any clue about how popular HyperCard was on internal company projects. Of course, they didn’t build telemetry into it, or they might have known, but then nobody would use it for proprietary projects and data.

AppleScript didn’t put the UI builder in front of the code, nor have a persistent database with no coding or connectors needed. HyperCard was arguably the predecessor of the linked internet, less the ads, since you wrote your own stuff.

Who knows? Without Steve, we might be using MSDOS version 954. (Or Linux)

Has anyone tried to use a monochrome color palette in iMessages? Rosy sunglasses?
