I'll never wrap my head around why America cares so much about iMessage.

The literal rest of the world has managed to settle on chat apps that aren't locked into a single vendor.

Because Americans are obsessed with iphones, as a status symbol and "American" product and it's a default...no effort required.

I find it funny it's called an American product as its iconic design was made by a Brit, CPU is manufactured in Taiwan and the rest is made and assembled in China
