What Google has got out of it finally kicking the can along from SMS. Apple's history of withholding the adoption of industry standards is a little grating from the company that ditched floppy and firewire and brought in USB-C before anyone even cared about it.

Living in the UK I was shocked to hear of people in the states being bullied for owning an Android device. Its the opposite way around here, where iPhone owners are the odd ones out, nobody uses iMessage and WhatsApp reigns supreme.
