Apple isn't a commodity hardware maker, as the software isn't sufficiently distinctive vs Android. Their hardware is what makes them so hot.
Also, integrating SMS with online messaging and giving people free chatting are Very Standard terms of competition for the hot and overcrowded chat app market, and it's precisely this which has gotten some people so bothered.
More to the point, Apple is not responsible for the visibly poisonous affects of classism on children, and Apple is not morally culpable merely because they indicated to you what's free and what's not. The families whose children are hurting each other should gather as a community, look each other in the eye and ask what's happening.
Nike also serves as a symbol of class — should we blame Nike when kids laugh at no-brand shoes?
