Tried an iPhone for a month when my Samsung S21 went in for repair. The perceived sheer lack of features and big UX gaps and missing features instantly made me profoundly dislike iPhone.

Just my opinion.

I use a Purism Librem 5. It doesn't run Android. You're welcome.

Stop being a snobby elitest. Choosing an Apple phone doesn't make you better than, and making life-choices based on such matters.. well, good luck with that.

Remember how much shit Microsoft got when they did crap like this with Windows and IE?

I guess Bill Gates just wasn't charming enough.

Why is iMessage even an issue? All phones can send conventional texts to each other

The average Joe does not know the difference between SMS and the more advanced features that iMessage offers when messaging withing the apple ecosystem. All they see is that androids are unable to send high quality images, send reactions etc.

I think the funniest aspect of this is that I'm planning on buying my mom an iphone next month to solve this issue.

That's not funny, that's sad.
