Nope, no problem at all because the phone doesn’t signal that its got a new SMS before the device that you are actually using tells you about the newly arrived SMS. > This is a delay induced by the phone, not by Apple's servers. Irrelevant to whether its best to tell you about the newly arrived SMS on the device you are actually using. > And what exactly is the goal of delaying the message?

Or you actually have a clue and realise that incoming SMSs do get reported on the device you are actually using so it will be the one you just got notified about on the device you are actually using.
