A comment on Why Apple’s iMessage is winning: teens dread the green text bubble. Parent comment
The phone companies got greedy and priced the individual SMS so high ($0.06 local) that nobody uses them except for 2FA codes and notifications.
If sms where still $0.02 each as they were in the early 2000s I would still use them occasionally.
iPhone users here (10%) are not really aware of iMessage because they use WhatsApp.
