    For those not in the loop, why? It seems like people who want to use Apple products would just buy a iPhone.

      Those of use who have friends or groups of friends that use iPhones but us ourselves do not. In the US, iMessage is the #1 way to create a group chat, and if you don’t have an iPhone you’re often just excluded and rely on someone else to update you about plans, etc.

        If I had friends that would rather exclude me from communication than either use a different app or find some way to include me then I would absolutely not want those people in my life.

        You can create a group chat using standard MMS. I have never heard of this being a problem.

        Like I said, maybe I’m out of the loop or just lucky.
