    oh, can’t android users receive high-quality videos and photos? after 16 years of smartphones, you’d think they’d have that figured out…

      Yeah the whole reason Apple won’t allow it is because they expect you to conclude exactly this.

      iOS can’t send hi quality videos or images over SMS. It’s a choice made by Apple.

      I can send large videos (more than 50mb, for sure) over SMS from my Android phone on Verizon to a Verizon iPhone. They receive it in same quality. When they send it back, the iPhone butchers it.

      Verizon, unlike other carriers, doesn’t seem to have an MMS size limit.

      you can when it’s android to android. as soon as an iphone is in play, the iphone immediately decreases the quality, even though the MMS standard allows for attachments up to 100MB in size
