GoPro should be worried

I never minded the green iMessage bubble. It was there — initially, at least — for good reason: to tell you when you were getting a text message, which could, at the time, potentially, eat into your texting plan. Because yes, that was a thing.

But now, the iMessage versus text message distinction has gotten a lot more out of hand. As an Android user, I get nonsense texts from friends with iPhones telling me they "loved an image," "laughed at" a particular message, and even "removed a heart from" a message they accidentally tapped on.

The season 4 premiere of Why'd You Push That Button? delves into the green versus blue bubble drama, speaking to people with strained friendships as well as an expert in color perception to explain why it all matters.
