What I see is that Apple figures out where you are on the fly and makes sure that's where you get the message as quickly as possible, while other devices get the message on a more lazy schedule (whenever the device happens to get the message, and whenever the device decides to display it). > Design fail. Bullshit. Only in your upside down bizzarro world. For reasonable people who aren't trolling, Apple's messaging design works beautifully. We never have to worry about not getting messages, because Apple consistently delivers them to us wherever we are and whatever we are doing. And that is what *truly* matters.
