You'll notice that the people who complain the loudest about the color
of chat bubbles (here in the Apple news groups and everywhere on the
net) are overwhelmingly Android users, all while pointing the finger and
claiming iPhone users supposedly are the ones who really care. Even in
the Beeper subreddit, you'll see them make this claim - in a forum which
literally wouldn't even exist if Android users weren't desperately
trying to gain access to Apple's iMessage service through fraudulent
means. Then they get all pissed off when Apple locks them out for
violating iCloud/iMessage terms of service, acting like Apple is
completely in the wrong and owes them access. It's utterly ridiculous.
