Yeah this thread is wild.. like no imessage isn't literally the reason people buy iPhones. And iMessage doesn't have "higher quality photos."

Everytime I discuss apple vs android with colleagues, it always boils down to "but come one, you can't take someone with green bubbles seriously". And we all work as developers for god's sake. iPhone users are more shallow than you think.

And yes iMessage has way higher image quality than sms, just like RCS has

MMS resolution seems fine for me and on Android, if I try to send a photo via SMS, my phone will alert me and suggest that I send that particular text (with a photo attachment) via MMS.
