When I text my amazing girlfriend she likes it when there are little dots when I am typing. If I switch to android (which I bought a Nexus 6P to do cuz I can use google fi and it is like $100 cheaper a month) it doesn't do that, since it uses SMS not iMessage. So basically I am paying for both right now until I can find out a way to make the dots appear in her messages when I text to her.

How do I do that. I have a macbook air.

Apple does some things super great, like iMessage and messages, but they also do things super fail, like USB mounting of iPhones and requiring Verizon and iMaps

if you ask Siri to take you somewhere it only uses iMaps (which are so much worse than Google Maps), and my iPhone is tied to Verizon and I can't go to like ATT or Sprint or anything without buying a new one.

verizon iphones are all unlocked even if youre on a contract

cant go to sprint for separate reasons, but you can use it on tmobile or att or an mvno

my wife was using a galaxy nexus 4s or whatever, and I kept shaming her and calling her poor and not to use it in public because people will think we're poor and finally she started using my ancient iPhone 6 and she immediately got a promotion and raise.

I have like another week to decide if I want to return it and drat I'm realizing how much better the iphone IOS system is than android.

Which totally blows because this nexus 6P is super cool, it just isn't running IOS and can't send blue messages.
