Meet iPager - Help Apple #GetTheMessage

Get ready for a new era in communication (again).

iPager is a device that uses outdated messaging tech, like Apple uses when texting with Android. It comes with all the features you already know: lack of encryption, broken group chats, pixelated pics and videos and the (in)famous green bubble.

iPager isn't real, but the problems that Apple causes by using SMS are. Let’s make texting better for everyone and help Apple #GetTheMessage and upgrade to RCS.

We'd never be the reason someone can't receive a clear photo from a loved one. 💚 #getthemessage

[kateomahoney]

Please give your animators a raise for this. They parodied the Apple style perfectly! Also, #GetTheMessage, Apple.

[heresmyusername]

You guys made a pretty good parody of Apple's style of doing commercials. Props to the animators for this wonderful video!

[DustyRecorder]

Youtube, this is NOT the time to recommend this video.

[farzamimani]

As an apple guy, I fully support this. More public pressure to push them to do the right thing 👌

[Aeleas]

Normally brands jabbing each other rubs me the wrong way, but I actually really appreciate this, because Apple's approach is legitimately making things worse for everyone and this is a great way to raise awareness and put public pressure on them. Keep it up!

[worthless_opinion]

Funny thing is if Apple released the iPager right now, people would actually buy it.

Why is this getting recommended to me while the world is in chaos for it?

[OctagonalSquare]

I didn’t realize this was from Android at first and was incredibly impressed with how spot on the animation was. I’m still impressed, but more with the marketing concept

[QuickThinker]

As an Apple user, this I do believe Apple needs to hear. This is still an ongoing issue and I would love to see this resolved for everyone

[darrsil]

Holy shit Google did it, you absolute madmen. You pressured Apple into adding RCS

[Blank]

Good thing Apple adopted RCS before pagers started blowing up (in a literal sense and in the news)

[maxanimator]

You're telling me this is from the official android YouTube channel ?
You've earned my respect.
This is not the kind of content I expected from a Google company, yet I would not have expected it to be the kind I needed.

[Saroku]

Google: use RCS, Apple.
Apple, 3 weeks later: understandable, have a nice day.

[akash.]

Imagine this video getting recommended in Lebanon 💀

[HTSI]

"but hey...belt clip" GOT ME GOOD💀

[iraitsjffskts]

YOUTUBE OUT OF ALL TIMES YOU SHOW ME THIS AGAIN

[DavidMcCarthy]

This is genius marketing. Props to whoever came up with this idea.

[Ark]

saying that this aged like milk would be a massive understatement

[mrkoyunreis]

Is anyone not gonna talk about the "Waiting for İnnovation? Its time... to keep waiting" and how well the lyrics of the music fits the context?
