Samsung is mature having young sex at restaurant and diner table videojoining Google in the fight against Apple's iMessage and the "green vs. blue" chasm that has split up many text conversations.
Supporting Google's #GetTheMessage campaign, Samsung launched a new video that appears to shame Apple for its walled-garden messaging system.
The video personifies two phones, an Android device and an iPhone, as a romantic duo who engage in a text conversation about how they can't be together due to the color of their bubbles. In fact, Juliet is the name of the Android device — a clear reference to the famous star-crossed lover.

"What did green ever do to them? We're bubbles too," one of the phones says.
"And literally everyone wants us to be together. Ugh," the other answers.
Google and Samsung have moved to RCS (rich communication service) messaging, and as such, they're running campaigns to convince Apple to adopt it. Of course, Apple has long used its proprietary iMessage platform.

Videos become impossible to watch, pictures look terrible, and you can't do reactions. The video from Samsung is an attempt to push Apple toward ending all that annoyance.
Of course, it probably behooves Apple to maintain the text-messaging divide. After all, according to SignHouse, there are an estimated 1.3 billion people who use iMessage, so many iPhone users clearly enjoy the service. So who knows if anything will ever actually change?
