With an SMS, the PHONE gets the message from the cell network.  It then
relays it to Apple's servers who then disseminate message to other devices.

The fact that the phone hinders/delays the display of a message it gets
first is the problem. This is a delay induced by the phone, not by
Apple's servers.


And what exactly is the goal of delaying the message?  It is more
ligical to have all your devices ring at same time so you know they are
all dealing with same message rather than a staggered approach where a
phone "ping" a minute later leads you to believe it is a new message and
you then have to check the phone to see if it is a message you already
read on the computer of it is a new message.

That's not a "problem".

Nonsense. There is no "problem" except the one in your mind. You are
actually complaining that a device you aren't even using doesn't display
a message first - while conveniently ignoring the fact that the message
*is* delivered to the device you *are* using as quickly as possible. If
I'm in the living room on my iPad and my phone is in the bedroom, I
truly do not give a shit whether the message appears on the phone in
another room first. What most people want is for the message to get to
them where they actually *are* as quickly as possible, which is
precisely what happens. You are desperately trying to manufacture a
"problem" where none exists (as usual). In fact I'd wager you don't even
receive SMS messages on devices other than your phone, which would mean
that (yet again) you are forming opinions based on pure ignorance.

I am complaining that my phone on my desk beeps a minute later to
indicate receipt of a NEW message, yet, it is a message that I have
already read. It would be far better if all the devices beeped within a
second of each other so I know they are all announcing the same message
and can choose which device I wish to read it on.

And in the case of an SMS, since the phone gets the message from the
cell carrier first, it should display it right away and then pass it on
to Apple to decide where next to send message.

I dislike that as well, but that's not what Alan is complaining about.

Alan wishes SMS messages would display on the phone first even when you
are using another device.

You wish that devices other than the one you are actually using wouldn't
display a notification at all. While that might be nice, it might also
cause you to miss a notification. I think Apple is erring on the side of
caution to ensure you actually will see the message. 

> It would be far better if all the devices beeped within a second of

I disagree. The best scenario is that the message appears on the device
you are actually *using* first. I can see how one might not want to see
an audio/visual notification on other devices, but again, I think Apple
does this to cover all bases on the off chance you aren't actually at
the device they think you are currently using.

I disagree. I see no need for my phone to display any message first when
I'm not even in the same room. How would I benefit from that?

Since it's an SMS destined to that phone number it should display there 
first without any delay.  Period.  That it would appear on any and all 
other devices swiftly and w/o delay is desired as well.

Text messages *do* display on the phone first when you don't have text
message forwarding enabled. 

When you do have text message forwarding enabled, text messages show up on
the device you are actually *using* first.

That's the way it works. Most of us are okay with that. Deal with it.

If you don't like the feature, turn it off.

You do have a choice:

* disable Text Message Forwarding to ensure SMS messages always appear
on your phone first

* enable Text message Forwarding to ensure SMS messages always appear on
the device you happen to be using first

Or convince Apple to program it to output SMS immediately on the SMS 
receiver as intended by the SMS feature in cell phones.  I bet it will 
shoot to the top of the priority queue... <g>

that is not going to happen. They did that, it sucked. This is better.

That's fucked because when the phone is in earshot, you
will be distracted by that when the message will show up
on the other device you are actually using in moments.

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?

You get notified about the new SMS on the device you are using.

Not feasible.

You don’t know that it is a minute later.

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.

If My Mac is playing a movie, and I am on my couch with my phone, then
Apple thinks my phone is asleep and my Mac is the device I am using. It
is not the case.

The messages should all arrive on each device at same time.

That's not how it works. If your Mac is playing a movie, it's in use. If
your phone is asleep, it's not in use. In this scenario what happens is
you get the message on the Mac first, which is precisely what most users
want.

I suspect you've never actually used this functionality.

> The messages should all arrive on each device at same time.

Nope, I'd much rather see the message where I actually am first.

But since you are watching a movie on the Mac, it makes sense
to display the message there over the movie so you don’t have
to hunt for the phone to see what the message is about.

And if you don’t noticed it on the Mac because you are too
engrossed in the NZer fucking a sheep very enthusiastically
indeed, because that is the sort of movies you watch, the
message will show up on the phone a little later and you
can check the message on your phone once you have
stopped creaming your jeans at the sheep shagger.

> The messages should all arrive on each device at same time.

Not even possible.

Movie plays full screen on display #3 (big TV). I most certaintly don't
want distractions coming from the "notifications" interrupting the movie
and those only go to screen 1 anyways.

Yeah, we know you are obsessed with the sheep shagging...

Still better than the phone that can be anywhere.
