Apple execs are on record from the Epic deposition for never wanting the
iPhone messaging to interface well with Android, which is part of the DOJ

Most people who only know iPhones have no idea how limited they are, which
is kind of like kids up until about fifth grade still believe in the Easter
Bunny but after about fifth grade, even kids begin to see the limitations.

My wife is also forced to use an iPhone but she can't stand it and cheats
as much as she can by using the Android phone whenever she needs to get
something done.
