I guess rephrasing it to a practical limitation of MMS would be fair, though? Insofar as it’s not something we’re blaming Apple for.

Apple has a 200k limit. We can blame Apple for having the worst mms limits

Prove this, because I'm pretty certain this is not the case. I helped build a messaging app for iOS (Technically a TeleHeath app that needed to accept MMS/SMS also) and I saw absolutely none of this. That was a few years ago so it's possible it's changed but I'd have to see actual documentation for that. Otherwise I firmly believe this is BS and completely made up.

I’m curious how you did that, given that iOS doesn’t allow 3rd-party SMS/MMS apps.

Do we really believe though that Apple doesn’t like it? I believe their top executives are glad it sucks because things like this make people (especially teens) bully anyone who’s not on iMessage, resulting in additional sales.

I think Apple has enough pull with carriers to tell them whatever configuration parameters for MMS they want.
