Every time I go down the rabbit hole of considering a switch from iOS to Android I always back down at the last minute for one reason: iMessage.

It’s how I communicate with almost everyone I stay in contact with.

Sure, there are some tempting alternatives to iMessage like WhatsApp or Telegram but it’s no small feat to get everyone you stay in contact with to convert. They never will and you will fall out of touch or lose out on the conversation.

And we are all addicted to the delivered status…

…well played Apple.
