If they hadn't acknowledged this is true, they wouldn't be getting sued. It had always been suspected, but they never admitted to it until recently.

For years, Apple has said very little about persistent rumors that its iPhone text messaging system in some way discriminates against Android users, either by delivering messages to them late or not delivering them at all.
Now an Apple customer support employee has admitted to Lifehacker's Adam Pash that, in fact, "a lot" of users have this problem: If you switch from an iPhone to an Android, iMessage won't deliver texts from iPhone users to your new Android phone.


There is no fix in sight, Pash says he was told. (At Business Insider, I've had a version of this problem firsthand: My iPhone colleagues get my texts immediately; those on Android seem to get them later, up to a few minutes behind.)

My phone provider openly admitted to me that Apple does this sh*t to keep people from switching over to Android. I'd love to know the number of people who had angry bosses or spouses because they couldn't return a text message.
