Because iPhone owners are petty and care about the text bubble color.
Also Apple has intentionally made the Android text bubble less readable, so it has a concrete impact
how is white on green less readable than white on blue? please elaborate.
They've chosen the green so there's a much lower difference in contrast between the white and green when compared to the white and blue
The green is lighter than the blue, meaning lower contrast
how is white on green less readable than white on blue? please elaborate.
There are some people that send a lot of pictures over text messages, who want it for the upgraded image sharing quality. That's a sane enough reason, at least.
On the bright side, the kind of people who judge other people for their text message bubble color are not the kind of people I want in my life. So at least it's another asshole filter.
Unless you're sending RAW pictures, it shouldn't matter. I've never had a problem with image quality over SMS. Videos are a different story, they're compressed to death and end up looking like watching a video over dial-up in the late 90s.
